Research interests

Plants are continually exposed to a variety of microbes. These microbes include potential pathogens that induce diseases on plants and symbionts that benefit plants. To achieve sustainable agriculture it is important to use the beneficial microbes instead of applying large amount of chemical fertilizers and agricultural chemicals. The work in our laboratory focuses on beneficial microbes such as rhizobium, AM fungi and endophytic bacteria.
