Many grasses are infected by systemic fungal endophytes that occur in aboveground plant tissues. Both aboveground and belowground can influence . Yaobing Qu et al. investigated whether the role of aboveground in the growth and competitive ability of the host grasses was influenced by soil microbes.

Imagine a world where crops can grow without fertilisers. That’s what some scientists are trying to achieve by reawakening dormant plant traits. They are exploring how plants can form symbiotic relationships with soil microbes that provide them with nitrogen and other nutrients. #plantbiology #sustainablefarming #soilmicrobes theconversation.com/how-dorman

Manure application and local variation dominates the microbial signal (PLFA/PLEL: 244 chains x 5 systems, block design) compared to crop rotation and other management practices. Signals in soil organic carbon, and total nitrogen are less clear. Esperschutz etal 2007 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/ab #SoilMicrobes #PLFA #Agroecosystem

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/ Excellent and over-due examination of plant–soil feedbacks, exemplified by Asclepias spp. The soil microbial environment is too often neglected in the dynamic systems of plants. Milkweed and Artemisia tridentata (sage brush) have been 2 species studied, demonstrating important dynamics. #SoilMicrobes #PlantEcology

#Introduction:

I am an evolutionary ecologist interested in understanding how plants interact with their environment.

Specifically, I explore the relationships between plants, #MycorrhizalFungi, #pollinators and #herbivores.

I am particularly interested in sexually dimorphic plant breeding systems, the effects of #ClimateChange on #Plant-SoilInteractions, and how #SoilMicrobes can contribute to #Sustainable food production and #NetZero.

Based at the #UniversityOfLincoln
