🔬 On Pikovskaya agar, phosphate solubilization is key! Left: a microorganism forms a halo 🟢, releasing phosphate. Right: no halo ❌, no solubilization. Microbes matter for soil fertility! 🌱🦠 #Microbiology #SoilHealth #PhosphateSolubilization

👩🏻‍🔬Today, on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate the incredible women in our lab and beyond who drive research forward. Their work is essential to building a more inclusive and sustainable future in science. More equity, more science, more justice!🌱

🌍✨ Had the pleasure of giving two talks on soil and soil health as part of the ECHO project, a fantastic citizen science initiative empowering people to monitor and protect European soils 🏞️🌱 Big thanks to Fundación Ibercivis and Sagarrak Ekologista Taldea for making it happen 🙌

🌱Field season begins! ✨We've started our wheat experiments, testing nitrogen use efficiency under real field conditions. Excited for the season ahead! 🚜

The new year comes with new field experiments! Excited to continue doing science, both in and out of the lab 👩‍🔬👩‍🌾

🌱Understanding nitrogen use in cereals starts at the molecular level🔬We use Brachypodium distachyon calluses as a tool to unravel the molecular mechanisms behind nitrogen use in cereals. Every step, from petri dishes to fields, brings us closer to more sustainable agriculture🌾

Exciting news! Our team at FisioKlima-AgroSosT Lab is growing! 🎉 Welcome Ane Kortabarria Perez, who is starting her PhD on resurrection plants, species that can survive extreme dehydration🌱💧. Looking forward to the great research ahead!

👩🏻‍🔬 Today, on the International Day of Cereals, we highlight our research on wheat and barley 🌾 Their growth depends on efficient nitrogen use, and at NUMAPS, we study how to optimize it for better yields and sustainability. Science for a greener future! 🌱🔬

🌱 Hoy terminamos el Workshop: #ConectandoRaíces, un espacio único donde la ciencia y la industria se encuentran para impulsar la innovación en el estudio de raíces y su aplicación en la #Agrobiotecnología. #somosUPM #InnovaciónAgrícola

🚀 Exciting news! Daniel Marino and Diego Tazueco from our group have visited CBGP to share insights on root system research as part of the Raíces para el futuro (RED2022-134836-T) network. 🌱✨Great discussions on plant resilience & future collaborations. 🌾

Red de raíces Raíces para el futuro (RED2022-134836-T) Great time #ROOTslover #SciencePerspective #Agriculture

This week our group NUMAPS Group presented a poster highlighting our research lines and ongoing work at the IX Research Conference of the ZTF-FCT, organized by UPV/EHU! 🧪🌿 Check it out!

First day of sampling, collecting dozens of wheat root exudates for later processing and biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) characterization - so excited! #fieldwork #science PID2023-151423NA-I00 (AEI proyect)

Heads up, science fam—NUMAPS is about to level up! Adrian Bozal-Leorri’s latest soil experiment is nearly ready for prime time 🚀🌍

Today was transplant day for the lettuce 🥬! A full experiment is underway combining inorganic and organic fertilizers, a biostimulant, and a nitrification inhibitor. Let’s see how they grow! 🌱

Excited to hit the stage at Pint of Science ES tomorrow, 19:00 at Kubrick Bar Bilbao!🍻🌾 N₂O may be laughing gas, but its climate punch is no joke. Can modern wheat help cut these emissions and keep our breakfast toast guilt-free? Grab a pint and find out! 🌍🔬

Our PhD student Diego Tazueco had a fantastic time at the ACTIONr Summer School 2025! A great opportunity to deepen his understanding of Biological Nitrification Inhibition, connect with experts, and bring back new ideas for our research. 👨🏻‍🔬🌾

👩🏻‍🔬🌱Exciting seminar today at the María Goyri Biotechnology Centre! Our postdoc Inmaculada Coleto shared insights on the role of MYB28 and MYB29 TFs in regulating Fe homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Spent a nice day in the field with great company, collecting samples from our wheat experiment. 🌾💪 Always exciting to see the plants growing and the data coming together! 👨🏻‍🌾👨🏻‍🔬

Members of our group presented two posters at the 2nd Teaching Innovation Conference at the Faculty of Science and Technology ZTF-FCT UPV/EHU! Research and teaching go hand in hand — both deserve innovation and dedication. 👩‍🏫🔬
