Gunstig gezinde microben kunnen de plant helpen tegen de kwaadwillige. Tenminste zo lang de gunstige microben onderling een goede verstandhouding hebben.

Extra auxin against stress
Extra auxin against stress Microbes like, Pseudomonas, give plants a helping hand in stress situations. For a long time it was unknown how they do this. Now a team of international researchers show in Microbial Biotechnology how Pseudomonas this does. Plants colonised by beneficial microbes perform better than their non-colonised neighbours in stress situations. TheContinue reading “Extra auxin against stress”
Extra auxine tegen de stress
Extra auxine tegen de stress Sommige microben, zoals Pseudomonas, geven planten een helpende hand in stressvolle situaties. Lang was onbekend hoe ze dat precies doen. Nu laat een team internationale onderzoekers in Microbial Biotechnology zien hoe Pseudomonas dat doet. Planten gekolonialiseerd door gunstige microben doen het in stressvolle situaties vaak beter dan hun niet gekoloniseerdeContinue reading “Extra auxine tegen de stress”
Shredding dead cells for protection
Shredding dead cells for protection Interestingly microbes are not colonising the root tip. Now researchers show in eLife that is because the tip protecting root cap is actively shredding death cells. Microbes are actively colonising plant roots. Except the growth centre containing tip of the root, which stays free of microbes. The root tip isContinue reading “Shredding dead cells for protection”
