Soil consists of a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gasses, liquids, and organisms that support the growth of plants. Soil research focuses on the natural resources in soil needed to support plant growth.
As the demand for renewal fuel feedstocks continues to grow, non-food feedstocks production must significantly increase to meet demand. Winter oilseeds grown in cooler climates provide oppor...
Date: March 31, 2022 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT) The US horticulture industry suffers approximately $60 billion in losses each year as a result of...
There is much discussion by cannabis growers about the prevention of plant diseases, oftentimes circling back to the idea of curating a sterile cultivation system. However, keeping microbial...
Date: November 16, 2021 Time: 10:00am PDT In this talk I will show how the power of modern electron microscopy (EM) techniques, coupled with light microscopy and expansion methods, can open...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are abundant in the environment as a result of the use and disposal PFAS containing products including aqueous film-forming foams, textiles, carpet...
Date: August 31, 2021 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT) Given its ability to isolate pathogens, nuclei, and immune cells for downstream applications, cell sorting is an essential tool for im...
After a brief definition of terms (what are bioplastics?), this lecture will discuss various material and application examples for biobased and/or biodegradable plastics. An overview on the...
Learning Objectives: 1. Participants will understand how cannabis works with the Endocannabinoid system and what is the Endocannabinoid system 2. Participants will understand how cannabis is...
While global demand for food is expected to increase significantly (70% by 2050), the agricultural industry is suffering from a decline in soil fertility, the adverse effects of climate chan...
Current Status of Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Reciprocal Translocation Carriers in Koreans Background: Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) and structural rearrange...
Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the major staple food crops grown in over 140 countries in the subtropics and tropics with annual global production of around 148 million metric, feeding about 50...
Plants recruit soil microbes that provide nutrients, promote growth and protect against pathogens. However, the full potential of microbial communities for supporting plant health and agricul...
Learning objectives:1. Metagenomic analysis is already complex, and complicated further by incomplete and non-standardized databases of known organisms2. Fungi may have their own 'mic...

Whole food plant-based diets and medical cannabis have shared and continues to share similar levels of scrutiny, doubt, and stigma by the traditional medical community. One reason for the med...
The soil microbiome can produce, resist, or degrade antibiotics and even catabolize them. Resistance genes are widely distributed in the soil and may act as a reservoir for pathogen antibioti...
Viruses outnumber bacteria in soil by as much as 1000:1. However, there are few studies which examine the ways viral communities impact the soil microbiome, chemical cycles, and plants. Recen...

Virus Ecology is a field that is gaining momentum, fueled in part by metagenomic studies from many environments previously ignored. Biodiversity studies of plant viruses show that they...
The human race, like all macrobiological life, evolved in a sea of microbes. There was no way to keep the bacterial and archaeal hoards at bay, so instead life evolved mechanisms to live with...
