Emphasis is also on molecular biology of soil and root interactions, developing biologics to suppress soil borne plant pathogens, and molecular biotechnology to produce nutrient-rich and long lasting crops. Communication with the agricultural community and consumers that value sustainable agriculture is integral to the definition of research problems and the transfer of technology.
