Photosynthetic improvement has become a major focus for researchers seeking to increase yields of crop plants.

The root system of a plant performs vital functions including resource uptake when nutrient availability in soil is non-homogenous; while also providing a surface for interactions with beneficial microbes.

Metal homeostasis is essential to normal plant growth and development. The balance is potentially impacted during plant-pathogen interactions as the host and pathogen compete for the same nutrients.

Food production needs to increase significantly and water loss from plants may hold one key, especially relevant in a time of climate change.

Pathogens and pests as diverse as bacteria, oomycetes, fungi, nematodes and aphids are sophisticated manipulators of their hosts.
