Resumé
Imagine a farm where crops thrive with minimal chemicals, thanks to beneficial soil microbes. Our project uses Prospector®, a cutting-edge microbial discovery platform, to rapidly isolate thousands of bacteria from ancestral wheat roots, identifying nature's own crop helpers. This research could revolutionize agriculture, creating more sustainable farming and improved food security.
