Time to contribute towards the global Pinus radiata microbiome project is running out fast!
Thank you to colleagues in Ireland, Great Britain, France, and Spain who recently submitted samples!!
If your region is not included, please be in touch quickly.

Scientists at Scion are teaming up with international colleagues from Mexico & USA to help Pinus radiata under threat in its native range. They might just help NZ's native species in the process.

We are privileged to be sampling Pine tree microbiomes on the Islands Cedros and Guadalupe. These islands, off the coast of Mexico, are the ancient home to unique populations of Pinus radiata….. and, hopefully, microbiome associations
Members of the sampling team had travelled from Ohio and some from New Zealand to be part of sampling. It’s a privilege to be on Isla Cedros.
Marauding Microbiome hunters @sl_addison , @madegreene , @megrua , and @Steve_ScienceNZ here and with a great support team!
Sampling efforts in NZ are expanding, uncovering microbiomes co-evolving with Pinus radiata. We're excited to be gathering more samples around the world but we need help! Join us to add your samples & share our findings. If you’re interested get in touch!
@MicrobiomeTree
Please please join our effort to use an understanding of the tree root microbiome to protect and enhance forests.
If you know of some Pinus radiata, and can extract DNA, you are gold!
Pinus radiata on Ulva island. Do geographically isolated pine have geographically unique microbiomes, or has host filtering selected for a ‘standard community’? Time and DNA will tell…
We call on our partners to support this initiative of Pine Microbiome initiative and help in sampling. The initiative aims to climate proof the species.
Calling all soil/plant/microbial ecologists in the Southern Hemisphere.
The tree microbiome program needs samples of Pinus radiata growing in the Southern Hemisphere. Help us build the tree-microbiome model system.
