📏 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 Thanks to the use of the 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗘𝘆𝗲 system by PHENOSPEX , it is possible to non-invasively monitor morphysiological adaptations that reflect the health status of the plant. Among these, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 proves to be one of the most sensitive indicators for the early detection of stress signals. 🌿 As shown in the graph, plants treated with a biostimulant maintain a wider leaf angle — that is, leaves oriented more perpendicularly to incoming solar radiation. ⚠️ In contrast, under water stress conditions, untreated plants rapidly change the inclination of their leaves, orienting them parallel to the light as a defensive response. 👉 This behavior suggests greater tolerance induced by the biostimulant treatment, allowing the plant to maintain its functional leaf architecture for a longer period. 🔬 A special thanks goes to PHENOSPEX for making accessible a technology that transforms plant physiology into objective, high-resolution, continuous data. Tools like PlantEye are truly changing the way research is done in the agritech sector. PHENOSPEX #precisionagriculture #phenotyping #plantphysiology #waterstress #biostimulants #agritech

🌱 What if Mendel had today’s tools to measure plants? Imagine if Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, had access to modern phenotyping tools. Instead of spending years measuring pea plants by hand, he could have screened thousands in days. 🔬 What more insights would he have left us? That transformation is happening right now in biostimulant research. 🚀 Over the past year, I visited biostimulant companies using our products across Europe and the US, and one thing became crystal clear: 👉 Small teams, embracing technology, redefine standards and move fast. At companies like Plant Flow Solutions, Sound Agriculture , and FytoFend, I met small but highly efficient phenotyping teams, sometimes just two people, running entire lead screening pipelines. ✅ What once took full teams weeks to complete now happens in just a few hours per week. ✅ By accelerating essential phenotyping tasks like measuring plant height, leaf area, or biomass, they’re freeing up valuable time to focus on more complex traits and high-impact research. At ANADIAG ITALIA SRL, a researcher told me: 🗨️ “I never thought we’d move beyond SPAD, but now we’re doing more, faster, with fewer people.” This isn’t just about automation, it’s about enabling researchers to think bigger and focus on discovery. Every breakthrough in efficiency means: 🌍 Faster innovation 🌱 Better biostimulants 💡 A future where sustainability and profitability go hand in hand. Mendel didn’t have these tools, but today’s scientists do. It’s inspiring to see how they use them to turn bold ideas into real impact, rewriting the future of agriculture. 🚜✨ 🙏 Thanks, Davide Lucien Patono, Pier Paolo Pollano, Emmanuel Van Cutsem, Francesca Cinquatti, Stefano Bergaglio, Graham Hymus, Nina Castillo, and many others for the great discussions and insights. It was truly inspiring to see how technology, curiosity, and dedication are shaping the future of biostimulants. #agriculture #biostimulants #biotech #biologicals #agtech #plantphenotyping #plantresearch

At PFS, we do not just work around problems — 𝘄𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. 💡 When a customer asked us to test a 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 🍇 to assess its effects on 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, we took on the challenge with enthusiasm. The results were promising, so we decided to go a step further by performing a 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 to better understand the 𝗺𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺𝘀 at play. For this, we needed 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗡𝗔 from the tested plants. While we routinely extract RNA from crops like 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗻, 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼, 𝘀𝗼𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿, mature grapevines posed a new challenge. Our usual protocols did not deliver the 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 we needed. Sequencing would have been possible, but the resulting data would not have met our 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀. After testing various solutions without success, we sought advice from the 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗡𝗥-𝗜𝗣𝗦𝗣 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻 🧬 (http://www.ipsp.cnr.it/en/). Thanks to their expertise, we adapted our approach and 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗡𝗔, enabling a robust transcriptomic analysis. 🙏 A big thank you to the scientists at CNR-IPSP—their support made all the difference. 👏 Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Chiara Pagliarani Giorgio Gambino Irene Perrone Paolo Korwin Krukowski Marcello Deandrea #RNA #Biotechnology #Agritech #biostimulants #Research

🌟 Reflecting on 2024: an Incredible Year of Growth and Innovation 🌟 1. Trials 🌱 In 2024, we advanced our experimental protocols to test up to 25 treatments simultaneously under water or salt stress conditions. These protocols deliver detailed insights into transpiration capacity influenced by biostimulants, differentiating isohydric from anisohydric responses and helping identify the ideal application context for each product. 2. Approach 🔬 We embraced a holistic research strategy by integrating in vivo physiological analyses, metabolite profiling, transcriptomic studies, and chemical analyses. This synergy allowed us to uncover the mechanisms of action behind the products we tested and expand their potential applications. 3. Team 🤝 Our team grew stronger and more dynamic, welcoming passionate professionals dedicated to driving innovation. Their expertise has been key to refining cutting-edge methodologies that yield actionable insights for our partners. 4. New Facility 🏗️ We’re thrilled to share that our state-of-the-art facility is nearly ready! Featuring fully-controlled growth chambers, it will unlock new possibilities for advanced trials and collaborations. 🚀 Looking forward to pushing boundaries in 2025! If you're interested in collaborating or exploring our work, let’s connect. #Innovation #Agritech #Collaboration #Growth #Biostimulants #Biostimulant #Research #PlantPhysiology #Physiology
