Precision medicine for agriculture: harnessing peptide-producing microbiota for sustainable crop protection

    Project: NWO project

    Project Details

    Description

    Microbial pathogens constitute a major threat to crop yields worldwide. Chemical pesticides are often effective but may have a negative impact on biodiversity as well as consumer health. To provide an alternative, the researchers will identify natural plant-associated bacteria that provide targeted inhibition of pathogens through the production of antimicrobial peptides.
