Mathematical reasoning could lead to new insights into the universal characteristics of living systems. Watch Nigel Goldenfeld's SFI colloquium titled “Topological scaling laws and the mathematics of evolution” at link below: shorturl.at/AcJwT#Evolution#Complexity#Mathematics#Biology
🌱🦠🧫🧪🔬🖥🧬 A very nice study combines classic agricultural ecology with modern omics to reveal how soil suppression of Ralstonia solanacearum wilt is determined by nutrient status via microbiome in tomatoes. Reminiscent of Sara Mitri's studies! microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
Background Soil nutrient status and soil-borne diseases are pivotal factors impacting modern intensive agricultural production. The interplay among plants, soil microbiome, and nutrient regimes in agr...
