Prof. dr. Jos Raaijmakers

Jos Raaijmakers is head of the Microbial Ecology Department at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) and Professor at the Institute of Biology at Leiden University. He is board member of the Centre for Soil Ecology and of the PhD graduate School PE&RC. The overall goal of his research program is to unravel the impact of plant domestication on the diversity, dynamics and beneficial functions of microorganisms associated with plants. In this search for 'missing plant microbes', we work together with research institutes and universities in the centres of origin of plant species. The functions of the plant microbes studied in detail are protection of plants against infections caused by fungal pathogens, parasitic weeds and insects. Jos teaches BSc and MSc courses at Leiden University, and organizes (inter)national PhD courses and conferences, including the International Plant Microbiome conference.

Harnessing the rhizosphere microbiome to enhance plant productivity

High biomass production of sugarcane needs input of mineral fertilizers in soil. However, since Brazilian sugarcane production technology aims at a sustainable management by recycling straw and vinasse (byproduct of ethanol industry), less mineral fertilizers can be added to soil. In addition,...Read more

Metagenomic mining of the endophytic plant microbiome

The plant microbiome represents an enormous untapped resource for discovering novel microorganisms, traits, genes and bioactive compounds. Endophytic bacteria can promote plant growth, act as biocontrol agents and can be beneficial to their host by producing a range of natural products. Here we...Read more

Meta-omics of disease suppressive soils

Disease suppressive soils (soils in which plant pathogens cause little or no disease due to activities of the resident microbial community) have been described worldwide for many plant species and plant pathogens. For most disease suppressive soils, however, the responsible microbial communities...Read more

Back to the Roots - II

The overall goal of the project is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the biodiversity and functions of microorganisms in the spermosphere and (endo)rhizosphere of ancestors of different crops species grown in their native habitat.Read more

Harnessing the soil microbiome for improved stress tolerance in crop plants

Plants are involved in intimate interactions with microbes during their entire life and these interactions are essential for plant growth and health. Within this project we aim to harness the power of the soil microbiome to protect plants against biotic and abiotic stresses, with main focus on...Read more
