The Jack Lab at Clark University studies plant-microbe interactions in agricultural and natural systems to gain an understanding of their influence on population dynamics in both microbes and host plants. We examine the influence of beneficial microbes on important plant traits, such as crop yield, plant health, and seed production using a combination of methods including microbiology, greenhouse studies, field research, genomics and molecular biology. Our work has applications in sustainable agriculture, conservation biology, and climate change mitigation.
