Sampling in INTERACT and MATRIX
See photos from the joint sampling in North Carolina which took place in November/December 2021.
INTERACT and MATRIX jointly sampled from six different field sites across North Carolina that represent different geographic areas and soil types. Hilliard wheat variety was chosen to be sampled at early development, representing 5 to 6 weeks of growth, with seeds coming from Marc Cubeta's lab (INTERACT) and Gina Brown-Guedira's and Christine Hawke's Labs (MATRIX). The fields will be further sampled in the Spring at post-flag leaf stage to examine the structure and recruitment of microbial communities over different developmental stages of the wheat. Joint efforts between INTERACT and MATRIX will allow for the exploration of microbial communities in the ground, roots and shoots of the wheat plant.
