The overall objectives of this project are: 1) to establish within NIOO the best methodology for measuring volatile emission from the rhizosphere and 2) to determine the contribution of bacteria to rhizosphere volatile emission.

Acidobacteria is among the most abundant phylum in soils, however, their physiological capabilities and co-occurrence with soil inhabitants are still unknown.

This project aims to harness the power of the soil microbiome to protect plants against biotic and abiotic stresses

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.

The overall objective of this project is to decipher the ecological functions of bacterial terpenes in the rhizosphere.

Developing bioinformatics tools for future metabolomics data analysis.
