Developing an improved understanding of the structure and function of the wheat root microbiome
The root microbiome is selected by plants and can benefit crop plants in several ways including improved plant nutritional status as well as protection against biotic and abiotic stresses. There are various factors which determine the wheat root microbiome community structure and developing a robust understanding of these is imperative for the development of sustainable agricultural systems.
This webinar explores the relative importance of factors such as fertilisation regime, land management and plant genotype in shaping the structure and function of the wheat root microbiome and how this knowledge can be taken forward to develop microbiome facilitated agriculture.
Who is this course for?
This webinar is suitable for anyone interested in agriculture, plant sciences, microbiomes and data analysis.No prior knowledge of bioinformatics is required, but undergraduate level knowledge of biology would be useful.
This event is part of a webinar serieshighlighting the current concepts and analytical methods in plant sciences applicable to research, data management, and crop improvement.To explore other topics from this series and registration details follow this linkPlants: a data sciences perspective.
Outcomes
By the end of the webinar you will be able to:
- Identify factors that affect the root microbiome
- Recognise the functional potential of the microbiome
- Explore the methodological approaches used to study the microbiome
