Resumo(s)
"As a result of climate change, the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is changing, temperatures are rising, precipitation patterns are changing, and extreme weather events are occurring more frequently. These changes accounted for 25% of average yield losses for low-latitude maize. Several strategies have been developed to tackle the reduction of productivity, such as altering planting and harvesting time, sowing crops with a short life cycle, applying crop rotation and irrigation techniques, and introducing variation in cropping systems. Besides these strategies, a knowledge-driven approach to manage the soil microbiota rather than merely applying microorganisms has been described as promising to sustainably increase crop yield. Taking this into consideration, we have designed a holistic approach that combines the characterization of a collection of agricultural soils, soil bacterial composition, plant microbiota, and nutrition availability to understand how plant mechanisms and microbiota coordinate to ensure the adaptative growth of leaves in the model plant Zea mays (maize).(...)"
