Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have identified a bacterial genus that promotes root growth and nitrogen uptake in plants. The findings open new possibilities for developing customized "plant probiotics" that could contribute to more resource-efficient agriculture by reducing the need for nitrogen fertilizer.
