Trans-kingdom Trade-off Boosts Crop Growth Under Sulphur Stress, say SCELSE-NUS Researchers
Overview: A surprising plant-microbe strategy under nutrient stress Researchers from the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE) and the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered a hidden mechanism by which plants can thrive when soil sulphur is scarce. The team reports that in the rhizosphere—the soil zone surrounding plant roots—microbes vie for…
