Also had a poster presentation today at #WSC2023 about how perennial wheatgrass improve soil microbial biomass, community and soil quality 😃 #Naperdiv

Ever thought about combining #soil with #art? It shows beautifully the fragility and diversity of soil and plants @DBG_Soils #dbg23

Welcome in Maribor - and in Graz as well (we are really close) for discussions about a healthy #microbiome

Happy to present our first master thesis defense in the frame of Naperdiv 🙌🥳 Congratulations to Regina, for her fantastic work on the microbiome of #Kernza

Join us for the afternoon session "Biobased products and productions" to learn more about research on #Kernza 🌱🌾 and #microbiome 🦠

Perennial grains like Kernza help ensure we can produce food while protecting our water resources from harmful nitrate pollution. Learn how Kernza® helps protect water quality in Minnesota. #WorldFoodDay kernza.org/kernza-perenni…

Happy belated World Earthworm Day (Oct 21 2023)! See below for a beautiful picture of a pot worm taken by @FrankAshwood

Check out this webinar about Indoor Air Quality and its importance for human well-being (after all we are spending 90% of our time indoors 🫥🏠)

Paper alert! Excited to share our latest publication on the influence of breeding activities on the seed microbiome of Kernza, a perennial wheat Kristina Michl Gabriele Berg Tomi Cernava …ronmentalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

First successful PhD-Defence within our project 👏🙌 Congratulations to Dr. Kristina Michl Tomi Cernava Gabriele Berg who analyzed the endophytic #microbiome of #Kernza and giving interesting insights for #biodiversity

🌾🪱 #Kernza (perennial wheatgrass) fosters a thriving community of beneficial nematodes. This creates a healthier, more resilient #soil for sustainable farming. From NAPERDIV (#BiodivClim) 👇

🌾 NAPERDIV (#BiodivClim) provides insights into farmer perspectives on #IntermediateWheatGrass (IWG), highlighting the need for further research and knowledge sharing to support adoption. 👉 doi.org/10.1007/s13593…

I am extremely happy adding this thesis to my bookshelf/ stoneshelf. It my first directed thesis written by the outstanding now Dr. Li Dr. Shoujiao Li

A study by Kristina Michl et al reveals that breeding of intermediate wheatgrass impacts the #seed #microbiome, reducing diversity but retaining key beneficial bacteria. Should breeding programs integrate microbiome conservation? DOI: buff.ly/3WI2bvk #PlantBreeding

New out! Perennial wheatgrass #Kernza fosters a higher bacterial diversity in the root endoshpere, which is not only influenced by the plant genotype but also by soil chemical and microbial parameters. 🦠🌱 academic.oup.com/ismecommun/art… Tomi Cernava Gabriele Berg NAPERDIV
