Decrypting the chemical interactions between plant roots and soil microbiome is a gateway for future manipulation management of rhizosphere, compartment critical to promoting fitness yields. Our experimental results demonstrate how microbial community genomic diversity influenced by root exudates differing compositions changes in this result altered production plant-relevant metabolites.
Abstract Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a common feed grain globally with vast genetic and phytochemical diversity that may provide numerous health benefits, including its aptitude as an antimicrobial grain. This study highlights the potential of collection 384 diverse sorghum accessions against two prominent foodborne pathogens, Clostridium perfringens Salmonella enterica . Following extensive screening, we determined extract more efficient at inhibiting C. than S. Antimicrobial...
Abstract Root exudation is one of the primary processes that mediate interactions between plant roots, microorganisms, and soil matrix. Previous research has shown root exudate profiles vary species genotypes which can likely support different microbial associations. Here, utilizing distinct sorghum as a model system, we characterized chemical heterogeneity exudates effects variability on membership metabolisms. Distinct were quantified used to formulate synthetic treatments, High Organic...
In light of the escalating climate crisis, there is a pressing need for significant shift in how we design built environment to effectively confront global challenges. Natural systems have inspired scientists, architects, and engineers centuries; however, conventional biomimetic approaches often focus on superficial aspects, disregarding underlying complexities. While this approach may lead more efficient outcome, it operates under assumption that organism functions exclusively within...
