Application Of Metagenomics In Agriculture
Main Article Content
Abstract
Metagenomics is the evaluation of the structure and function of entire nucleotide sequences isolated and analysed from a bulk sample. In comparison to conventional methodologies, metagenomics contains a larger amount of genetic data. It is crucial to understand and increase crop yields in both rural and urban agriculture because the microbial community associated with plant roots is crucial for plant growth and development. Metagenomic approaches can be utilised to identify the microorganisms and their functional genetic features even if some of these microbes are currently not culturable in the lab. Improved plant development and sustained crop production in soil and soilless agriculture should result thorough understanding of these species and their interaction procedure. The goal of this review is to shed light on metagenomic approaches used to investigate the microbial ecology and related microbiota of plant roots. Metagenomics is enabling an understanding of these microbes and their biotechnological potentials, which may then be leveraged to create novel, useful, and eco-friendly bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides.
