“The Ecology of Suppressive Soils: Innovations for Sustainable Agriculture.” Plant-associated microbiomes have the potential to expand their hosts' genomic and metabolic capabilities with direct implications for plant health and performance. This seminar will delve into the ecology of the soil and plant rhizosphere microbiota with a focus on exploring advances in our understanding of microbial-mediated mechanisms of soil suppressiveness. DiniAndreote will illustrate development of soil suppressiveness for the control of multiple soil-borne pathogens and the parasitic weed Striga.
