In parallel to #root harvest: non-destructive #mucilage sampling:
@withanage.bsky.social of @unituebingen.bsky.social targets #BNF of #maize mucilage, supportee by Akila Chandima in his Bachelor thesis.
Crossing fingers that the amount of mucilage will be sufficient for mol-bio and trait analysis 💪

Thanks Issaka Abdulai for organizing such huge experiment @uni-goettingen.de & Irsa Eyza for joining the above-ground team.
