Stockbridge Sch of Agriculture 590STA - Plant-Microbe Interactions

Plant-microbe-soil interactions mediate key ecological functions, such as nutrient cycling, plant productivity and stress tolerance, soil carbon storage, and ecosystem response to change. This class will explore the intricate relationships formed between plants, microbes, and other biota that inhabit the soil. Students will gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to investigate fundamental and applied aspects of rhizosphere ecology and plant-microbe interactions.
