UNH Researcher to Develop New Gene Editing Tools

A researcher at the Âé¶¹app has received a USDA grant to develop new gene editing tools that could help scientists unravel how certain bacteria—which were previously understudied—promote growth in plants and protect them from environment stress. The tools are a critical step in better understanding the dynamics of bacteria-plant interactions that benefit plants and crops, and could advance global efforts to clean contaminated soils, reduce pollution, and tolerateÌýsalt in soil.
