We are working on identifying plant growth-promoting microbes and developing techniques to enhance their colonization. By elucidating the complex interactions between plants and rhizosphere microbes, we aim to apply our findings to the development of biostimulants and microbial materials for primary industries, as well as to support bio-based manufacturing using plants.
