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...

New Class of Biofertilizer Promoting Growth and Stress Tolerance
Invention Summary:Rutgers scientists have identified ACC-deaminase-producing bacterial strains that have advantageous effects on overall plant growth, in particular, turfgrass. Plants infected with ACC-deaminase-producing bacteria are exposed to less ethylene, and thus exhibit better overall growth. Indeed, plants inoculated with these bacteria species...
