Precision agriculture, powered by synthetic biology, is changing how we farm. SynBio can design crops and microorganisms that efficiently use water, fertilizers, and pesticides. Envision crops that naturally repel pests and diseases, or soil enriched with engineered microorganisms that enhance nutrient absorption. These breakthroughs are not just theoretical ideas—they are real, tangible advancements that are propelling the agricultural revolution forward. Stay ahead in the world of SynBio innovation. Follow the ETSU Research Corporation for the latest insights and updates on synthetic biology. #Innovation #SynBio #Agriculture

🌱 Exciting Advances in Plant Bioengineering! The Florida Museum of Natural History's latest research reveals groundbreaking insights into how plants can be bioengineered to produce their own nitrogen fertilizer. This could revolutionize agriculture, reducing the need for harmful, energy-intensive synthetic fertilizers. Discover how scientists are exploring multiple genetic pathways to make this a reality! 🌾🔬 Read more about this innovative approach and its potential to transform farming practices for a sustainable future. 👉 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/e9hsVvAT #Bioengineering #SustainableAgriculture #NitrogenFixation #PlantScience

🌱 I had the pleasure of presenting my research at the 5th International Scientific Conference AgroEco2024! 🌿 🌱 In my study, I demonstrated how inoculation with #endophyticbacteria not only stimulates growth in #peaplants but also enhances their microbial diversity. Through #metagenomicanalysis, we revealed how these bacteria positively influence plant growth and soil health. It was a great opportunity to share insights on the role of microbial inoculation in promoting sustainable agriculture and plant productivity! 🚀🌍 #SustainableAgriculture #PlantMicrobeInteractions #GrowthStimulation #MicrobialDiversity #AgroEco2024

Nanotech solutions for the future of farming.   At CDE, Asst Prof Tedrick Thomas Salim Lew (Presidential Young Professor, NUS Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering) and his team are developing innovative nanotechnologies to grow smarter, healthier crops.   From nanosensors that detect plant stress to nanocarriers delivering nutrients with precision, their research is paving the way for sustainable farming to address the challenges of a changing global climate and growing population.   Watch the video to see how Asst Prof Lew’s research is helping to shape the future of food security. #CDE #NUS #ForgingNewFrontiers #CDEImpact
