Getting back to the grass roots: harnessing specialized metabolites for improved crop stress resilience Northen Lab researchers Yezhang Ding and Trent Northen contributed to a recent paper published in Current Opinion in Biotechnology that reviewed the families and functions of grass root specialized metabolites (GRSM), integrative approaches for GRSM pathway […]
The latest issue of Phytobiomes Journal, Volume 5 No. 2, has been released. Included in the issue are two papers with Northen Lab researchers, focusing on aspects of the root microbiome. Volume 5 No. 1 also includes an editorial led by a NL member for the Focus Issue on Phytobiomes […]
Phosphate Availability Modulates Root Exudate Composition and Rhizosphere Microbial Community in a Teosinte and a Modern Maize Cultivar Crop domestication, while focused on above ground traits, has had unintended impacts on below ground plant characteristics. How these changes have influenced rhizosphere interactions remains poorly understood. We investigated the impacts of […]
A review paper was recently published in RSC Chemical Biology by researchers at the Northen Lab. Dr. Noel Ha and 4 other scientists reviewed recent microfluidic approaches that have been successfully integrated with mass spectrometry analysis for high-throughput bioassays to improve throughput, sensitivity, and specificity. High-throughput screening technologies are widely […]
Two papers were recently published by researchers at the Northen Lab exploring bond breakage in phenolic compounds and the detection of glycosyl hydrolase and lignin modifying enzymes. Dr. Kai Deng, who is an author on both papers, shared some figures and highlights from these publications. Experimental and theoretical insights into […]
