Future Grain

Exploring Rice diversity in agricultural systems and nutritional quality towards healthier food with a lower environmental impact.

The selected rice varieties, which best associate with PGPB, are now growing in the growth chamber at @UniAvogadro, to evaluate their phenotype. We have inoculated and control plants and are waiting for them to bloom before moving on to the next step! @FutureGrain

It will be a pleasure to partecipate in the @Recrop22157 talk next week with our researcher @BMarco83. We are waiting! @LabNacho @LaStatale @FutureGrain

Last week, we evaluate the association of old and modern varieties with bacteria of interest. We identified varieties that showed a greater association. One selected varieties show a number of colonies/gram from 60 to 155 times higher than the non-selected ones. @FutureGrain

Last month, @FutureGrain took part in the Annual Meeting of SBI Working Groups 2024. We have been selected as first speaker of symposium section to illustrate FutureGrain project @BMarco83. It was a pleasure for us! @LaStatale @UniAvogadro

The wait for our plants has paid off. After a long process of transplanting into the soil, our varieties are now growing vigorously in the field. @FutureGrain

Our analyses show how phenotypic aspects vary among varieties. The different anatomical features of the cod in ancient and modern varieties are a direct cause of the different productivity. @FutureGrain

The #ResinovaCollection will soon be ready for cultivation under natural conditions at the Botanical Garden, Città studi of Milan. @FutureGrain

Can interaction with #soilbacteria confer an advantage to #rice during response to water stress? Analyses are ongoing… @FutureGrain

It was a pleasure last week to take part in the Workshop on Plant Biology 2024 organized by @sibv_it . @FutureGrain participated in the #sketchingscience section with a freehand representation of the project.

The #grains of the varieties were tested under stress conditions. One day after imbibition, the sampled seeds exhibited different rootlet development and #germination. @FutureGrain

[Future Grain @FutureGrain]

The seeds of ancient European varieties, naturally resistant, are ready for germination analyses. @FutureGrain

[Future Grain @FutureGrain]

The matured and harvested #varieties were compared for various characteristics, including the number of #cobs produced and #stem length. @FutureGrain

[Future Grain @FutureGrain]

After a period of maturation, the plants are harvested for phenotypic analysis and #grain collection. @FutureGrain
