Lauren Jabusch, Benjamin Bowen, and Trent Northen are authors on the paper “Microfabrication of a Chamber for High-Resolution, In Situ Imaging of the Whole Root for Plant–Microbe Interactions.” As mentioned before, specialized plant growth chambers offer promise as a way of investigating rhizosphere interactions. The Imaging EcoFAB, presented in this […]
The rhizosphere is a dynamic ecosystem that is difficult to study due to the volume and types of interactions that occur. Trent Northen is an author on the review paper “Specialized Plant Growth Chamber Designs to Study Complex Rhizosphere Interactions” that takes a look at different types of chambers and […]
The Northen group is excited to support the Berkeley Lab Director’s Apprenticeship Program (BLDAP) for a second year in the summer of 2021! BLDAP provides an opportunity for underrepresented public high school students (including African Americans, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Latinos, LGBTQ+, students from low income households, and first-generation college attendees) […]
In a collaboration with the Yoshikuni lab at JGI and the Dangl lab at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Lauren Jabusch of the Northen Lab demonstrated imaging of 9 different colors of fluorescent bacteria within a single EcoFAB. This work is part of the paper “CRAGE-Duet Facilitates Modular Assembly […]
