Agriculture's global environmental impacts are widely expected to continue expanding,
driven by population and economic growth and dietary changes. This Review highlights …

The demand for nitrogen (N) for crop production increased rapidly from the middle of the
twentieth century and is predicted to at least double by 2050 to satisfy the on-going …

To support an ever-increasing population, modern agriculture faces numerous challenges
that pose major threats to global food and energy security. Plant-associated microbes, with …

The soil environment adjacent to plant roots, termed the rhizosphere, is home to a wide
variety of microorganisms that can significantly affect the physiology of nearby plants …

Background Despite more than 50 years of research, no robust evidence suggests that
inoculation of cereals and other non-legumes with free-living and/or endophytic bacteria …

Genetic circuits have many applications, from guiding living therapeutics to ordering process
in a bioreactor, but to be useful they have to be genetically stable and not hinder the host …

Applying beneficial microorganisms (BM) as bioinoculants presents a promising soil-
amendment strategy while impacting the native microbiome, which jointly alters soil-plant …
