Newswise: Engineered Soil Microbiomes May Secure Future Tomato Yields
Released: 6-May-2025 7:40 AM EDT
Engineered Soil Microbiomes May Secure Future Tomato Yields
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Tomatoes, like many crops, often face growth challenges under limited nitrogen and water conditions. A new study reveals that the diversity and complexity of rhizosphere bacterial communities play a crucial role in helping tomatoes absorb multiple essential nutrients under such stresses. Researchers introduced the concept of a Multinutrient Cycling Index (MNC) to quantify plant nutrient traits and found that higher microbial diversity and a robust core bacteriome significantly improved nutrient uptake. These findings suggest that manipulating rhizosphere microbiomes could be a sustainable strategy to enhance crop performance in fluctuating environments, supporting the development of resilient agricultural systems.

Accordion Effect Makes Graphene Stretchable
University of Vienna

Graphene is a "miracle material": mechanically extremely strong and electrically highly conductive, ideal for related applications. Using a worldwide unique method physicists at the University of Vienna led by Jani Kotakoski have for the first time made graphene drastically more stretchable by rippling it like an accordion.
