into the world of mycorrhizas to explore how fungal populations can promote crop production.By genetically engineering plants with different expressions of target genes, researchers at Cambridge University's Crop Science Centre hope to optimise fungal colonisation of crop roots and reduce artificial inputs.Emma GillbardFarmers Weekly
Improving yields and reducing fertiliser dependence– Researchers at the Crop Science Centre, Cambridge, are testing GM barley modified with genes from the leguminous plant,Medicago truncatula, that enhance access to soil nutrients through symbiotic association with soil fungi. This could help reduce app...
