    🌳 We are excited to share that the NParks Cities of Tomorrow R&D Programme was featured in The Straits Times! This research focuses on improving soil conditions to support the growth of Singapore's iconic giant trees, the dipterocarps, which are essential for forest restoration and urban greenery.

    As part of this programme, SIFBI is engaged in characterising microbial strains, which includes:
    🦠 Isolating microbes from tree roots to understand their role in tree health
    🧪 Using genetic analysis to identify these microbes
    🔬 Studying how these microbes help trees absorb nutrients and grow stronger

    This research programme will enhance the resilience of our forests and urban landscapes!
