John Innes Centre News:

Wheat-soil interaction offers route to sustainable agriculture

Understanding how wheat roots can fine tune the activity of soil microbes for the benefit of agriculture is the focus of WISH-ROOTS.

WISH-ROOTS at ARC-Soil, Climate and Water:

The field trial at Brits farm will be a key contribution to our understanding of wheat roots impact on soil health across latitudes.
