Elucidation of the mechanism of microbial biological control agents against Plant Diseases
Research Keywords
Microbial ecology, Plant pathology, Biological control
Application Fields
Biomanufacturing, Biofunctional applications, Biological control of plant pathogens
Skills
Cultivation and isolation of microorganisms, Evaluation of biocontrol effect in pot experiments, Microbial community analysis
In recent years, biological control agents utilizing microorganisms that can suppress plant diseases are expected to replace chemical pesticides. We aim to create novel biological control technology by employing omics-based approaches to the conventional search for beneficial microorganisms using culture methods.
