The rhizosphere--the thin region of soil surrounding and including the roots of plants--is a well-known hotspot for microbes like bacteria. These bacteria serve a host of beneficial functions for ...
“Extrapolating from the medical field, we know that the microbiome influences almost everything that we do, from the way we think, from what kind of food we eat, from our own responses towards a ...
The new AI-powered workflow helps scientists identify which plant genes control the best microbial partnerships. This accelerates the engineering of microbiomes that help plants grow faster, require ...
An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology has received a $2 million federal grant to create tools that will provide the clearest three-dimensional images yet of ...
Researchers have discovered that bacteria from the plant microbiota are adapted to their host species. They show how root-associated bacteria have a competitive advantage when colonizing their native ...
Researchers have discovered that signaling occurring from the response of plant leaves to light, and plant roots to microbes, is integrated along a microbiota-root-shoot axis to boost plant growth ...
University of California San Diego researchers have developed a new tool for understanding and modifying any microbiome, ...
The field of gut microbiota research has undergone rapid expansion, uncovering the intricate relationship between microbial communities in the vertebrate ...
