P. Poole - Legume-Rhizobium symbiosis: From root colonisation to nitrogen fixation

Présentation de l'intervention :

The general areas in which my group works are bacterial genetics and molecular biology of plant associated bacteria. Our emphasis is to study the physiology of bacterial growth and survival in the rhizosphere and how they establish symbiotic interactions with plants. A further focus of our work is the physiology and biochemistry of nitrogen fixation in legume nodules. Most recently we have been studying how bacteria attach to and colonise roots and have developed methods to open up the whole area of how plants control the microbial root microbiome.
