Analysis of VOC-orchestrated microbiome-mediated #crop resilience suggests that pairing VOC-responsive #genotypes with tailored SynComs within diversified cropping systems will synergize #pathogen suppression and #yield stability. doi.org/10.1111/jipb.70333 @WileyLifeSci #PlantSci
ALT Diagram illustrating that herbivory triggers the production of green leaf volatiles, and dense planting increases the concentration of linalool emissions in maize canopies. These volatiles activate plant-soil feedback that enriches beneficial rhizosphere bacteria, enhancing resistance, though sometimes at a growth cost, thereby offering new avenues for sustainable crop improvement.

🧬 No todo el ARN sirve para fabricar proteínas: también puede regular genes, catalizar reacciones y revelar nuevas claves sobre virus y evolución.
El grupo de @Marcos_dlP explora estas moléculas y sus aplicaciones biotecnológicas.

Feliz de compartir nuestro último paper publicado en J Agr Food Res (IF 7. 2) donde demostramos, no solo el efecto de la aplicación conjunta de #micorrizas y nuestro #bioestimulante en la producción de 🍅 y 🥬 bajo salinidad, sino el mecanismo de acción.

Review covers how SB compresses cycles to 4–7 gens/year, and how pairing it with CRISPR + the EU's new 2026 NGT rules could cut edit-to-variety time from decades to years.
