      abstract     = {Global food supply is largely dependent on staple crops;
                      amongst them bread wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i>, L.).
                      To secure quantity and quality of food worldwide, new
                      sustainable agricultural strategies are needed. An option is
                      the replacement of finite rock phosphate with renewable
                      phosphorus sources, for example algal biomass. Wheat roots
                      can acquire similar amounts of phosphorus from algae as
                      compared to rock phosphate sources, but show alterations in
                      morphology<sup>1</sup>. Therefore we hypothesize that (1)
                      algal phosphorus is available to wheat and is taken up by
                      the root systems directly, and (2) differences in root
                      morphology between rock phosphate and algal biomass reflect
                      a change in uptake mode. Our approach will combine chemical
                      characterization of algal fertilizer and its degradation
                      with mass balance analyses and plant phenotyping experiments
                      to quantify the phosphorus forms and their uptake mode by
                      wheat and its root system. EcoFABs (Ecosystem FABbrications)
                      will be utilized for sterile cultivation of single plants of
                      wheat and its model Brachypodium, treated with algae.
                      EcoFABs were developed for live-analysis of the root and the
                      rhizosphere by microscopy in controlled
                      micro-environments<sup>2</sup>. Temporally resolved analysis
                      of the medium will support the exploration of dynamics in
                      phosphorus pools and the identification of inorganic and
                      organic forms used by plants. We expect that algal nutrients
                      can and will be utilized by the plant and that we will
                      observe changes in morphology, metabolism and exudate
                      composition in and around the root. The overall aim is to
                      identify traits that will allow efficient application of
                      algae fertilizer for agricultural systems.1. C. Schreiber et
