  • autorenew Implementation (Status)

The UK Crop Microbiome CryoBank (UK-CMCB) project will provide a comprehensive bank of cultures, resources and information to help facilitate research into optimizing plant yields using a sustainable agricultural approach. As a lead on this project, CABI will manage the research project, cryopreserve the samples and host the CryoBank. We will also coordinate the establishment of the publicly available AgMicrobiome Base. The project will establish a cryopreserved and characterized crop microbiome resource to underpin UK and international crop research, building on the UK Agritech capability provided through the Centre for Crop Health and Protection (CHAP). The resource will provide a facility for researchers to source data and samples for their work, including living microbial materials from the rhizoplane and genomic sequences from different microbiome environments (as axenic cultures, microbiome samples and in 96 well plates). This will enable soil scientists and plant researchers to assess and compare their work against validated datasets generated by the project. The focus will be on the microbiomes of six major UK crops (barley, oats, oil seed rape, potato, sugar beet and wheat) from three different soil types obtained from across the UK. The CryoBank will also be of interest to the general public. Through CABI and the projects' partners, research will be presented to the public as well as ways in which they can engage with this unique resource.
