🌱 Does #phosphorus shape what #roots release into the soil? Yes, but only at the right moment in the plant's life.
New #preprint from Sasha Pollet and Jean-Thomas Cornelis team UBC on white lupin root exudates across development. #plantscience #rhizosphere 🧵

🤯😍
Practical takeaway: organic acid exudation in white lupin is highest during early growth and drops substantially by flowering. If the goal is phosphorus mobilisation in the rhizosphere, plant developmental stage may matter as much as fertilisation rate. #sustainableagriculture #soilhealth
On my back from the #GRC on #Salt and #water stress in #plant. This was such a fantastic meeting! The venue, of course, but most importantly the company!
4 days of intense discussions across a broad range of topics ( microbiome to biophysics, agar to field). Looking forward to the next one!
When the #wheat plants you have been nurturing for months fall down because of a storm, you need to give them a hand. #drooght
Happy to share my first paper ! 🚀
Thanks to the PEPA lab and my great coauthors @adrienheymans.bsky.social, Rémy Schoppach, Valentin Couvreur and @guillaumelobet.bsky.social !

Root system architecture reorganization under decreasing soil phosphorus lowers root system conductance of Zea mays by Felix Maximilian Bauer et al. in @annbot.bsky.social

Phenological stage accounts for ~49% of variation in root exudate profiles, while phosphorus supply has no significant overall effect, except at flowering.
Developmental timing turns out to be the primary driver. #metabolomics #phosphorus #rhizosphere
