Jiayi Jing is a PhD student of Bioinformatics group at Wageningen University, and joint PhD candidate of Microbiology Ecology Department at the Netherlands Institue of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW). She started her PhD from October 2021 under the supervision of Prof. Jos Raaijmakers, Dr Paolina Garbeva, and Dr. Marnix Medema (WUR). Her PhD project was the identification of the microbial consortia and mechanisms of soil suppressiveness to Fusarium culmorum. The main objective of this project is to dissect the microbiome and elucidate the mechanisms of soils suppressive to the mycotoxin-producing fungal wheat pathogen Fusarium Culmorum. More specificly, this project aims to reveal: 1) microbial strains and consortia that provide disease protection against F. culmorum; 2) bioactive compounds (volatile and/or non-volatile) and genes encoding their production; and 3) microbial consortia and microbial comounds with potential to be developed as novel products for sustainable crop protection.

PhD PROJECT
Now I am working on the identification of the microbial consortia and mechanisms of soil suppressiveness to Fusarium culmorum. The main objective of this project is to dissect the microbiome and elucidate the mechanisms of soils suppressive to the mycotoxin-producing fungal wheat pathogen Fusarium Culmorum. More specificly, this project aims to reveal: 1) microbial strains and consortia that provide disease protection against F. culmorum; 2) bioactive compounds (volatile and/or non-volatile) and genes encoding their production; and 3) microbial consortia and microbial comounds with potential to be developed as novel products for sustainable crop protection.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs); Soil microbiome; Disease suppressive soil; Microbiology ecology, etc.
