Why is it important?

Engineering microbial communities to boost plants' health is today a hot topic, in particular in view of grand societal challenges like sustainable farming and food security.

Perspectives

Multidisciplinary approaches interfacing experiments with mathematical models are still rather uncommon, but will become more and more relevant in the future.
