microbiome-engineering
Microbiome engineering is the deliberate modification of microbial communities associated with plants to enhance specific plant traits, functions, and phenotypes. This approach is significant for plant science because it offers a means to improve plant growth, health, and environmental stress tolerance without requiring genetic modification of the plant itself. By optimizing plant-microbe interactions, researchers can leverage microbial functions to address agricultural challenges including nutrient availability, disease suppression, and climate adaptation.
