🌍 New publication in Pedosphere! How will climate change affect the performance of BNI wheat? We tested BNI wheat under ambient vs. elevated CO₂ and contrasting soils, revealing its strong potential to mitigate agricultural N₂O emissions 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.pe...

I am happy to share that our research on the impact of cereal grafting in rice and pearl millet is now available on bioRxiv! Our findings show that cereal grafting does not alter core physiological traits and photosynthetic performance 🌾 Read more below 👇

📢 Thrilled to share that we were interviewed by @nature.com about our preprint on supervisor behavior & early-career researcher mental health! Surveying 2600 early-career researchers globally, empathy emerged as the core pattern shaping positive mentorship.

Our preprint on scientific supervision, mental health, and researcher retention has now been covered by @nature.com The conversation around mentorship in academia is clearly resonating far beyond our expectations 🧵👉 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Poor supervision is pushing young researchers out of academia

A survey finds that academic supervisors can have a huge impact on their students’ mental health.

Most early-career researchers enter academia because of passion for science. Many leave because of supervision. Our study (2,604 responses, 65 countries) suggests that supervisory practices strongly shape mental health and retention in academia. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I was recently interviewed by @science.org about our preprint on supervisor behaviour and trainee wellbeing. We surveyed 2600 researchers globally, and discussed ways to support good mentorship and build a healthier academic culture. Read the interview here: www.science.org/content/arti...

I am at #Monogram2026 today presenting my poster on pearl millet-rice intergrafts! 🌾 My research focuses on their physiological performance under extreme drought stress, specifically looking at how we can improve water-use efficiency and drought tolerance💧 #PlantScience

We are thrilled to welcome Tingting to @thepallavisinghlab.bsky.social as our new Postdoctoral Researcher! 🌿Tingting joins us to explore the fascinating biology of mistletoe. We are excited to see her expertise in our group! 🌳 Welcome to the team, Tingting! #PlantScience

New paper out! We compared wheat and spelt in the field under irrigated vs rainfed conditions and conventional vs organic farming. Spelt showed greater resilience to drought, while soil management strongly shaped microbial communities🌾 #PlantScience #CropResilience

The Pallavi Singh Lab is growing! 🌱 We are thrilled to welcome Alex Meadows to the team as our newest Research Assistant. Alex will be diving into our mistletoe and banana research and helping us push the boundaries of #PlantScience.

🌱 Pastures are far more than just grass. In a new @elhuyarzientzia.bsky.social article, our team member Arantza Aldezabal explains why well-managed grasslands are key for biodiversity, climate regulation, fire prevention and sustainable food systems. Read more here: zientzia.eus/artikuluak/l...

New paper out in @pplplantarum.bsky.social! Jon Miranda-Apodaca, from the Usue Pérez López research line, reveals that stem EBCs play a stronger role than leaf EBCs in ion accumulation under salt stress in quinoa. This is a key trait for breeding more salt-tolerant traditional crops.

El llamado 'gas de la risa' es también actualmente el principal responsable de la destrucción de la capa de ozono. Nos lo cuentan @amoadrian-bl.bsky.social y Teresa Fuertes (@ehu.eus): 

Óxido nitroso: un gas gracioso, un problema serio

La agricultura es responsable de hasta el 80% de las emisiones humanas de óxido nitroso, un gas con un potencial de calentamiento global 300 veces superior al del dióxido de carbono.

Photosynthetic advantage without growth superiority: Sorghum’s paradoxical response to future climate stresses compared to maize

Rising atmospheric CO2 is projected to reach 700 μmol/mol by 2100, increasing global temperatures by ∼3 °C and exacerbating drought frequency. Sorghum…
