PROJECT OVERVIEW

1 / 15
Soils contain diverse microbial communities
2 / 15
Within these communities are microbes with useful properties
3 / 15
Endophytes are microbes that live harmlessly within plant tissues
4 / 15
Can we programme endophytes to influence the wider microbial community?
5 / 15
Could they synthesise chemicals to attract beneficial soil microbes?
6 / 15
Maybe bacteria to fix nitrogen reducing the need for chemical fertilisers
7 / 15
Or may the endophytes produce chemicals that deter pests or pathogens?
7 / 15
Newcastle's Alternative Roots Project: engineering endophytes for smart agricultural solutions
