🌱 Smart screening for safer biostimulants

Before a biostimulant can benefit crops, it must first prove it's safe for the plant itself.
We measure the respiration of germinating seeds to detect stress or toxicity at the very earliest stage of plant development.

A surprising observation in a Japanese lab has revealed a remarkable ability in Stentor coeruleus, a single-celled organism about one millimeter long. Sometimes nicknamed the “platypus” of microorganisms for its trumpet-like shape, this tiny creature appears to have a distinct preference for corners. https://t.co/o3ae0j9qL3 @HokkaidoUni @sorairo_stentor
