A carnivorous plant offers clues to one of biology's biggest questions

New research into a carnivorous pitcher plant is helping University of Georgia scientists understand one of biology's most challenging questions: how plants assemble and maintain stable, functioning microbial communities. The work could eventually help researchers design beneficial microbial communities for crops.  The research is moving microbiome science beyond simply cataloging microbes and their genes toward uncovering the genetic…
