Abstract:
The seed microbiome, the microorganisms that live on and within seeds, directly affect early stages of the plant life cycle but can also have long-term consequences on plant health and survival. We have designed high-throughput genetics and microbial ecology methods that will inform our design of engineered seed microbiomes to limit seed transmission of microbial pathogens. This project works toward new pathogen treatments for crops.
