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”

Helping hand
Helping hand Plants do better when they get help from in the soil living microbes. New research from Dutch, Belgian and Swiss researchers shows that this effect is increased when these individual microbes also help each other. The soil is full of microbes, fungi and bacteria. Lost of these microbes have a positive effect onContinue reading “Helping hand”

Selecting fungi We all carry our own micro-organisms with us, plants also. The communities that these micro-organisms form contribute to keeping the plant healthy. For example, micro-organisms can collaborate with a plant, exchanging nutrients for sugars, helping the plant grow. Or micro-organisms can produce substances that make the plant less attractive for herbivores. And theyContinue reading “Selecting fungi”
