Marker-assisted in vivo imaging reveals pre-patterning events prior to lateral root organogenesis The branching pattern of the Arabidopsis root is established as early as in the distal tip of the primary root.

Looking for some clarity in the labyrinth of terms regarding lateral root initiation (priming, founder cell specification, pre-branch sites, oscillation zone, root clock,...)? Here is our new paper hopefully bringing some light in the darkness:

High-throughput screening assay for nitrification inhibitors and the discovery of goitrin as a biological nitrification inhibitor Nitrification inhibitors are valuable in mitigating nitrogen (N) losses from agricultural fertilizers, enhancing fertilizer use efficiency, and minimi…

Excited to share our new paper!

A useful tool for scaling up nitrification inhibition tests, that also resulted in the discovery of a new #BNI!

Thanks to Fabian Beeckman & all co-authors!
