Synthesizing Insect Vectored, Plant Colonizing and Cross-Protecting Bacteria - A Strategy for Deployment of Crop Protecting Organisms

Objective

We propose to develop a plant-infecting bacterium using synthetic genomics which will be non-pathogenic and out-compete or possibly kill naturally occurring, plant pathogenic microbes.
