Description
Aurora I. Flores and co-authors review, in a 2026 paper, how genetic engineering can sharpen the microbes that help crops grow and clean polluted land. Friendly plant microbes already fix nitrogen, free up phosphorus, and fight crop diseases. Editing their genomes could push each talent further.
Strategies surveyed include random mutation, precise CRISPR editing, gene overproduction, genome shuffling, and rebuilt metabolic pathways. Reported gains span stronger biocontrol, better stress tolerance, and improved breakdown of contaminants. The authors insist that edits must stay safe for the wider soil community, farm animals, and people, and they compare how different countries regulate release. The review positions engineered microbes as partners for cutting fertiliser dependence.
