Location: Plant Gene Expression Center
Project Number: 2030-12210-003-005-N
Project Type: Non-Funded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jan 1, 2024
End Date: Dec 31, 2027
Objective:
The Cooperator will be investigating the impact of various amendments to plant microbiomes and plant health. The cooperator will be using greenhouse space owned by the ARS. The ARS will assist in designing microbiome experiments and in microbiome analysis.
Approach:
The approach will include standard plant microbiome research techniques and experimental design using commercially available crops such as tomato. The approach will involve innoculating plants with biological products and assessing outcomes. The cooperator will provide materials for the research and monitor the plants. The ARS will help design the microbiome experiments and participate in the microbiome analysis.
