Root Functional Biology

News
In collaboration with Fujian Agricultural University (China), we published a research article on Nature Communications and we found that specific soil microorganisms Flavobacteriaceae and Paenibacillaceae bacteria can promote the formation of the rhizoshealth by biosynthesis of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, a common auxin).
Prof. Jinliang Yang from University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA on "Harnessing the naturally occurring beneficial microbes for N-resilient crop development". Prof. Yang is working on plant breeding and genetics, quantitative genetics, functional genomics in maize/crops.
We are very excited to announce that Root Functional Biology Lab is welcoming new PhD student researcher Ms Xiaofang Huang, who is funded by DFG.
