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

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!

@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.

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.

@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!

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.
