07-06-2021 By Earth.com staff writer The grass that we depend upon for agriculture relies on healthy bacteria to survive climate change, according to a new study from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The researchers have discovered that the ability of agricultural grasses to endure drought is directly linked to the health of the microbial community living in their leaves, stems, and seeds. “Microbes do an enormous amount for the grasses that drive the world’s agriculture,” said study lead author Emily Bechtold. “They protect from pathogens, provide the grass with nutrients such as nitrogen, supply hormones to bolster the plant’s health and growth, protect from UV radiation and help the grass manage drought.”
