#Naperdiv is a @BiodiversaPlus Call 2019-20 funded project interested in a nature-based perennial grain cropping system as a model to functional biodiversity
The vision of NAPERDIV is to introduce perennial grain crops as a nature-based solution for innovative and future-proof agricultural systems in Europe to move from current crop production towards sustainable alternatives acknowledged by the EU’s legislation
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. 🦠🌱

A study by @KristinaMichl1 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: https://t.co/6tqIsPYs6T

Ever wonder how #earthworms behave in #annual and #perennial wheat (#kernza)? What about the species composition? 🪱
Check out our new paper: https://t.co/60IbxDyER5
P.S.: It is also one of the firsts to mention the distribution of the Allolobophora #chlorotica subtypes 🌱
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
