About the Bulbul Ahmed Lab

Climate change is projected to have a wide range of negative effects on plant physiology, metabolic processes, soil nutrients and carbon sequestration, microbial activity and diversity, and agricultural productivity, all of which have an impact on food security. Climate-resilient crops have been gradually adopted to deal with abiotic challenges such as drought, heat, flooding, and salinity over the past few decades. Understanding the relationships between plant and soil microbiomes in promoting plant growth might improve resilience to environmental stress and disease, resulting in a productive and sustainable global agroecosystem. The key to achieving greater understanding of these microbial networks and their core ecological and evolutionary interactions can be used to improve climate resistance and food production. We study the key concepts of plant microbe interactions on microbial dynamics, interactions, and feedback with plants, as well as how this data may be successfully applied to climate resilience agriculture.
