Managing the leaf microbiome for crop health and productivity

Описание к видео Managing the leaf microbiome for crop health and productivity

Some microorganisms live in high numbers on the leaves of all plants. These microbes, called epiphytes, play important roles in plant health and productivity - both by causing disease, but also by inhibiting disease. Professor Lindow will talk about the nature of the leaf surface and focus on the processes by which these epiphytes immigrate to newly developing plants from other plants nearby. His talk will also address the large effect of agro-ecological practices on plant microbiology, such as the role of cover crops and the local diversity and abundance of nearby vegetation on establishing beneficial microbes on crop plants.
