A growing body of research is highlighting the impacts root-associated microbial
communities can have on plant health and development. These impacts can include …

Antibiotics are chemotherapeutic agents, which have been a very powerful tool in the clinical
management of bacterial diseases since the 1940s. However, benefits offered by these …

Plants have incredible developmental plasticity, enabling them to respond to a wide range of
environmental conditions. Among these conditions is the presence of plant growth …

In both managed and natural ecosystems, beneficial plant-associated bacteria play a key
role in supporting and/or increasing plant health and growth. Plant growth-promoting …

Members of the genus Pseudomonas inhabit a wide variety of environments, which is
reflected in their versatile metabolic capacity and broad potential for adaptation to fluctuating …

Bacillus bacteria are a group of plant growth stimulants that increase plant growth and
resistance to plant pathogens by producing various metabolites. With their large surface …

Particular bacterial strains in certain natural environments prevent infectious diseases of
plant roots. How these bacteria achieve this protection from pathogenic fungi has been …

Often referred to as the “building blocks of proteins”, the 20 canonical proteinogenic amino
acids are ubiquitous in biological systems as the functional units in proteins. Sometimes …
