Communities of microbes (microbiomes) play important roles in human health and disease, agriculture and plant growth, environmental management and many more critical processes. Until recently, however, microbiologists focused on microbes in isolation. As a result, we do not know much about how they function when they come together in complex communities. The Biodesign Center for Fundamental and Applied Microbiomics is developing an integrated understanding of microbiomes. Our goal is to establish general functional principles that can explain and predict the behavior of microbial communities for a variety of applications.

#MakingBHUShine Dr. Jay Prakash Verma, Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development, presented his research at the International phytobiome conference-2024 at Donald Danforth Plant Science Centre, Saint Louis, Missouri, United States, held from 19-21 November, 2024. Dr. Verma talked about “Harnessing chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) microbiome to develop potential microbial consortium for enhancing its sustainable productivity.” The research aims to isolate, screened and molecularly characterized chickpea seed endophytes for developing effective microbial inoculum for enhancing plant growth, yield, nutritional contents and soil fertility and health. #BHU #BanarasHinduUniversity #AgriculturalResearch #internationalresearch #internationalconference #sustainableproduction

🌿 Advancing Disease Management: Artificial Inoculation of Tar Spot 🌾 🔬 #TeamBayer researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough by artificially inoculating tar spot in field test plots, paving the way for deeper insights into disease management. This development holds promise for advancing genetic and crop protection research, crucial for mitigating the impact of this pathogen on crop yield. By creating controlled field conditions and inducing tar spot, researchers can now study the environmental and genetic responses to the disease, accelerating the identification of new corn hybrids with enhanced tar spot tolerance. This pioneering approach represents a game-changer for farmers, offering the potential to integrate native tar spot tolerance into North American hybrids and enhancing screening and identification of tolerant corn germplasm. 🌽 How do you think this advancement will impact our ability to protect crops and ensure food security? 🌱🔬 Learn more about this groundbreaking research at No-Till Farmer: https://lnkd.in/gXi_CGsw #CropProtection #Innovation #DiseaseManagement 🌱

Being the largest evidence-based Feed Conversion index in the world, EcoFeed® is proven to do more with less. STgenetics® began our EcoFeed® research in 2014 at the Ohio Heifer Center with the goal of establishing a pipeline for testing for Feed Conversion Efficiency in growing dairy heifers. By combining the individual feed intake records for heifers with their genomic data, we have been able to isolate the genetic components that affect Feed Conversion Efficiency; therefore, we can make genomic predictions of other females without feed intake records with high accuracy. STgenetics® is taking action within the climate sector and EcoFeed® has been named a finalist for Innovation in Climate Action for the 2024 International Dairy Federation (IDF) Dairy Innovation Awards!

Advancing our understanding of bioreactors for industrial-sized cell culture: health care and cellular agriculture implications This review article aims to provide an overview of the current state of bioreactor technology in both cell therapy and cultured meat production. It will examine the various bioreactor types and their applications in these fields, highlighting their advantages and limitations. In addition, it will explore the future prospects and challenges of bioreactor technology in […] The post Advancing our understanding of bioreactors for industrial-sized cell culture: health care and cellular agriculture implications appeared first on Cultivated Meat News . => https://lnkd.in/eiN9riMU #CultivatedMeat #News #CulturedMeat #Altproteins #Food #FutureOfFood

To get a sense of where #FoodisHealth (and agtech) is going behind the scenes, I recommend you read Venky Ramachandran recent post. It illuminates what iSelect Fund is seeing assemble in the background between microbiome, crop genetics, bioactive, regenerative, and food science. There will be a point where we can deterministically achieve endpoints (Six Sigma level output on a target level of protein, Omega 6, and a taste profile) from a recipe of inputs (Crop genetics, microbes, and farm practices). All with the ability to optimize for cost through a combination of agriculture, but also suplementation in bioactives and fortifications in later stages.

Tak Li from the Max-Planck Institute in Germany presented on the effects of agrochemicals on the soil microbiome at #ISME19 in #CapeTown2024. He emphasized that while numerous studies have been conducted on this topic, they tend to be unidimensional and exhibit intermixed effects. The challenge now is to reconcile these findings to form a comprehensive understanding of agrochemical impacts
