Currently in the @DotyLab:
Grad student Robert Tournay is looking at endophyte effects on host tolerance of toxic metals.
Researcher Andrew Sher is probing molecular mechanisms of plant growth promotion.
Postdoc Andrea Firrincieli is diving into the endophyte genetics.

The @DotyLab surveys poplar and willow trees that live in nutrient poor areas.
While trees are pretty different than corn, the microbes associated with these trees can help them thrive and grow in that environment - this benefit can transfer to crops too.

Get to know some of the work by our featured lab of the week, by watching this short video!
The @DotyLab is using #PlantMicroSymbio research to reduce chemical inputs in farming, making bioenergy and other crops more sustainable.

Injecting this bacteria into plants can replace chemical fertilizers that harm our planet.

This Grist article is a fun read about the exciting times we're in on using symbiosis with #endophytes rather than chemical fertilizers: https://t.co/2cETxw8Die

Nice article in the Smithsonian magazine on N-fixation in a Mexican maize variety also highlights our poplar and willow #endophytes

My autumn qtr class, "Environmental Applications of Plants: Bioremediation & Bioenergy" is now open. Students have often remarked it was their favorite class at UW since I teach with optimism that we CAN solve environmental problems. Spread the word! https://t.co/EgM40ZMxYS
