Description
Gülce Güralp and co-authors profiled the microbes living around wheat roots in Turkish fields in a 2025 study. Tuning the soil microbiome is a hopeful route to greener crop growing. The team's long goal is new biological fertilizers for wheat, built from helpful local microbes.
They took fresh soil from ten fields across Türkiye's wheat regions and grew durum wheat seedlings in each. At the three-leaf stage, they extracted DNA from the root zone and read which microbes were present. The profiles show both the variety of species and the jobs they are equipped to do. Such maps reveal which microbe mixes suit which soils, a first step toward tailored bio-fertilizers.
