Bacterial volatile organic compounds for plant growth promotion under altered gravity conditions
Research collaboration opportunity to investigate how plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that enhance plant growth, with applications for space agriculture and terrestri...
Evaluating benign microbial colonization for plant growth promotion and stress resilience
Research expertise in plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and their root colonization behavior to enhance plant fitness under biotic and abiotic stress. The lab investigates how beneficial microbes colonize plant...
Microbial consortium for enhanced turfgrass disease suppression
A synthetic microbial community (SynCom) designed to enhance turfgrass health by improving nutrient uptake, abiotic stress resilience, and disease suppression. This approach reduces reliance on irrigation and chemical in...
Ancient microbiome consortiums for enhanced nitrogen uptake in non-legumes
Harness ancient soil microbiomes to boost nitrogen uptake in non-leguminous plants using novel bacterial strains. This technology reduces dependency on synthetic fertilizers by leveraging strains MH1 and MH2 to enhance p...
Synthetic community seed treatment for soybean sudden death syndrome control
Seed-applied synthetic community (SynCom) for controlling soybean Sudden Death Syndrome caused by Fusarium virguliforme. The approach combines direct antifungal antagonism with plant defense priming to suppress the patho...
