Congratulations to CABBI Director Andrew Leakey, Professor and Head of the @iBioIllinois Plant Biology Department, who received the Charles F. Kettering Award from @ASPB! 🙌 The award recognizes @leakey77's excellence in the field of #photosynthesis.🌱 cabbi.bio/team/andrew-le…

@CABBIbio @Chem_Eng_J @BanerjeeShivali @kkeilts @bioprocessingIL @IllinoisABE @UofIResearch @IllinoisCropSci @ACESIllinois @doescience @ElsevierConnect Fantastic to see new markets developing for MxG!

CABBI has scaled up zero-waste, industrially relevant processing  for #Miscanthus x giganteus — successfully recovering high-value pigments, microbial liquids, and lignin-based chemicals! 📰 Paper in @Chem_Eng_J: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@CABBIbio @DrAngelaKent @IllinoisNRES @IllinoisCropSci @IGBIllinois @AnanyaS1190 @ACESIllinois @doescience @UofIResearch Exciting research!

CABBI researchers led by @DrAngelaKent of @IllinoisNRES & Erik Sacks of @IllinoisCropSci found that the genetics of host plants determine what microorganisms are attracted to their roots. This study of #miscanthus can lead to improved productivity! News➡️ igb.illinois.edu/article/geneti…

@Ember_Morrissey @SoilBiolBiochem @biogeojen The link expired in post for the paper. Can you repost and send the title? I would love to review. Thank you for sharing your work on MxG

During establishment, the bioenergy crop Miscanthus increases microbial diversity leading to greater carbon use efficiency and soil carbon! Learn more about the role of microbes in storing #soil carbon in our new @SoilBiolBiochem paper by @biogeojen. authors.elsevier.com/a/1hneC8g13Xeed

@CABBIbio @NewsHour @UofIllinois @leakey77 @ACESIllinois @IllinoisCropSci @IGBIllinois @ISUBiomass @PBS @LongLab @RIPEproject Love this!

A PBS @newshour crew visited the @UofIllinois Energy Farm today to interview #CABBI's Emily Heaton for an upcoming segment on #biofuels, to air this summer! Members of the @leakey77 lab were capturing baseline drone images of the terrain before crops emerge. #FieldFriday 🌱🎥

PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE: The Maryland Agricultural Commission spring tour has been scheduled for May 10. For more information please visit bit.ly/3LaQrLg

@CABBIbio @BrzostekLab @Soyface_IL @WestVirginiaU @DanielleBerardi @doescience Very cool! How deep is that hole? Hoping you found lots of black gold down there!!!!

A tribute to "Holes" for #FieldFriday! 🕳️🌾 CABBI #Sustainability researchers with @BrzostekLab dug deep soil pits in miscanthus plots at the SoyFACE facility to identify depth gradients in root biomass, soil carbon & nitrogen, and microbe activity! 📷 Eddie Brzostek

@RIPEproject @IGBIllinois @IllinoisCropSci @CABBIbio @Illinois_Alma @FarmGateMedia @WCIA3 @LongLab @iBioIllinois @sustainILLINOIS @ACESIllinois Very exciting news!!! Great work

WCIA 3 News’ Stu Ellis interviewed scientists Stephen Long and Vijay Singh on their work for the ROGUE project and how the way we think about the energy we are using is changing and how it can be produced from plants like Miscanthus and energycane. 🎥: bit.ly/3cs7N5u
