The CROP (Combining ROot contrasted Phenotypes for more resilient agro-ecosystem) project aims to estimate the beneficial impact of combining contrasting wheat root phenotypes in the same field. We aim to assess the benefits of the combination on water, carbon and nitrogen fluxes and cycles, microbial activity and yield. During the first stage of the project, experiments were carried out in field conditions. The samples can now be processed and analysed. We are looking for a motivated intern to work on the processing of root samples. The intern will learn and use root analysis methods and software to extract root- and plant-scale phenotyping data. They will also have the opportunity to participate in eventual ongoing field sampling campaigns.
