Big thanks to ⁦⁦ARVALIS⁩ for a fantastic tour of the facilities for the photosynthesis roadmapping workshop ⁦Photo Boost⁩ ⁦Gain4Crops⁩ ⁦BEST-CROP⁩ #phenotyping

So exciting to see this amazing automaton in the field! 🤖🌾Can't wait to know more about what crop insights it is able to provide. 📊

Fantastic week at CEA Cadarache in France discussing a roadmap to improved photosynthesis in Europe with CAPITALISE-H2020 and Gain4Crops! 🌱☀️

#BESTCROP meets in Cadarache (France) with the other EU-funded projects CAPITALISE-H2020, Photo Boost and Gain4Crops to discuss the potential of exploiting improved photosynthesis processes as strategies to increase the performance and resilience of future crops.

Happy Summer Solstice and World Music Day from the GAIN4CROPS team! ☀🎶 Today, we celebrate the warm start of the sunflower blooming season and leave you with “Sunflower”, a gentle tune for an afternoon of research or relaxation. 🌻 🎼 balearic.bandcamp.com/track/sunflower

On my way to the next Gain4Crops meeting in Udine. Looking forward to meeting with the colleagues and learning about the progress made over the last months.

Enjoying the great talks at this year’s SEB conference in sunny Prague 😎. This year I’m also representing the PlantACT initiative, stand 19- come say ‘hi’ and grab some information! 😁👋 SEB @PlantAct

Our #EUfunded team gathered in beautiful Udine to catch up and map our next steps. 🇪🇺👥🎯 Thank you to INsociety for organising & hosting the meeting, and for giving us a wonderful tour of the town and introducing us to local delicacies. 🙌 Until our next meeting!🌻

We are one of 3 #EUfunded sister projects working on improving photosynthesis! 🇪🇺💪🌻 You can learn more about our sibling CAPITALISE-H2020 in their story-rich newsletter! 📰 Our other sibling is Photo Boost 🙌

Our Gain4Crops sunflowers planted at Botanical Garden of Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf seems delicious meal for the parrots 🦜 WeberLab #CPGE
