Microbiome-Leveraged Organic Herbicide
Invention Summary:
At present, all herbicides are deleterious to human health. There is an unmet need to develop herbicides that are not harmful to people.
Ethylene is a microbe-produced hormone that stimulates plant cell growth. However, in excess, ethylene causes stress in plants due to overproduction of superoxide, a highly potent form of reactive...
