Cereals are our most important staple foods supplying about 50% of global dietary energy. Cereal crops were domesticated from their wild progenitors thousands of years their wild form mature grains naturally fall from the plant in a process called shattering. Early farmers collected

Developing crop cultivars that are resilient to climate change and can help mitigate its effects will be critical to supporting healthy soils and reducing the environmental impact of food production. Key to this are the interactions plants have with soil microorganisms. Plants can inf
