Plant rhizosphere engineering rhizo signaling gel matrix

摘要

A rhizo signaling gel matrix that alters a plant's water flow dynamics and increases plant drought tolerance is provided. The rhizo signaling gel matrix has mucigel, soil particles, and a rhizoligand. The rhizoligand is present at between about 1 μg/kg to about 1 g/kg. The rhizo signaling gel matrix forms an interconnected network of linkage between a plant's root and soil particles in the plant's rhizosphere.
