Title : Plant metabolic engineering for sustainable agriculture
Abstract:
Catering the Plant metabolism through engineered microbes leads to Plant health, environmental health, animal health there by Universal health.
The present report is very simple and is purely an Application oriented Technology. In this technology beneficial microorganisms are engineered using their functional characteristics to catalyse the plant metabolism including nitrogen fixation,phosphate solubilization and uptake, potassium and other mineral elements solubilization and uptake,,phytohormone induction, stress tolerance, and water retention useful for a broad spectrum of crops including all grain crops, vegetables, fruites, flowers,forage grasses, grown under diverse soil and wide range of temperature.
Beneficial microbes isolated from diverse soil, crop roots, root nodules in USA are discussed on their isolation purification and grouping based on functional characteriztion to design a potential consortium containing multiple microbes.
Tested under Green house and field trials across US and also in many International trials. Recent Results on Almond, Olive Golf course Vegetable etc in California are also included in the presentation.
How this Poly microbial consortium helps in Soil Agregation creating air spores for water infiltration and retention will be discussed. Build up of Organic matter with increased Cat ion exchange capacity will be discussed. Plants are activated for stress mechanism ( Drought and Frost+pest and disease reduction ) Aqua porin a short lived proteins in stomatal pores will be correlated to the transpiration rate and stress.
The Plants are metabolically activated to yield nutrient rich quality products with increased BRIX VALUE (MINERAL DENSITY),flavor, sweetness and long keeping quality.
Most important cost economics to the farmers will be discussed.
Catering the Plant metabolism through engineered microbes leads to Plant health, environmental health, animal health there by Universal health.
