Project

The impacts of abiotic stresses on the nitrogen-cycle functions in the wheat rhizosphere
I will work on plant-microbe interaction (using state-of-the-art molecular tools). The first part of the project will link plant microbiome components to an increased resistance to abiotic stresses. During the second part of the project, the selected beneficial microbiome will be put in contact with plants subjected to an increasing abiotic stresses.
