Plant-Microbe Interfaces. Burkholderia sp. BT03

The Plant-Microbe Interfaces (PMI) project focuses on understanding the dynamic interface that exists between plants, microbes and their environment. A specific focus is on defining the genetic bases of molecular communication between Populus and its microbial consortia. Understanding the inherent chemical and physical processes involved will facilitate natural routes to the cycling and sequestration of carbon in terrestrial environments, ecosystem response to climate change, and the development and management of renewable energy sources.

植物-微生物互作（Plant-Microbe Interfaces, PMI）项目旨在解析植物、微生物与其生存环境之间的动态互作界面。其核心研究重点之一为明确杨属植物（Populus）与其微生物群落之间的分子通信遗传基础。阐明该过程涉及的内在化学与物理机制，将有助于实现陆地环境中碳循环与碳封存的自然路径，助力生态系统响应气候变化的调控工作，以及可再生能源的开发与管理。
