Plant microRNAs found to recruit beneficial microbes
Original: Plant microRNAs recruit beneficial microorganisms: implications for sustainable agriculture
Researchers report that plant microRNAs can recruit beneficial microorganisms, a finding with implications for sustainable agriculture. By understanding how plants signal to helpful microbes, scientists hope to develop crops that rely less on chemical fertilisers and pesticides. The work, published in Nature, highlights a growing interest in harnessing the plant microbiome to make farming more environmentally friendly.
Why now: New research published in Nature suggests microRNAs could be used to develop more sustainable farming practices.
