This invention relates to apparatus and methods for selecting a soil microbiome having increasing plant productivity. The apparatus and methods relate to combining an output from a machine learning model, a generalized linear model, and a distance-based multivariate model to execute a donor forest selection tool that is configured to select from a plurality of geographically distinct plant communities a soil microbiome having increasing plant productivity.

The present invention provides methods of increasing plant productivity and tolerance to water and nutrient deficiency by overexpressing an exonuclease responsible for the d200 mutant. Also provided are plants which overexpress the exonuclease and have improved tolerance to water and nutrient deficiency.

The invention provides a strain of halotolerant bacteria of Kocuria (Kocuria) and application of the halotolerant bacteria of Kocuria to growth promotion of corn and wheat under the stress of salt, and particularly provides a strain of halotolerant bacteria of Kocuria (Kocuria) and application of the halotolerant bacteria of Kocuria (Kocuria) to growth promotion of corn and wheat under the stress of salt. The salt-tolerant actinomycete JC is separated from drought saline-alkali soil in Longzhong Gansu Province, grows well in an LB culture medium with the pH value of 8 and containing 30 g / L of NaCl, and is preserved in the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center on March 17, 2025, and the preservation number is CGMCC No. 33847. The strain has multiple functions of resisting salt and alkali, reducing salt and alkali, producing IAA, fixing nitrogen, dissolving inorganic phosphorus, promoting growth of corn and wheat seedlings and the like. Experiments prove that the strain can reduce salt and alkali by 7.54% and 6.55%, and can significantly relieve saline-alkali stress of crops and promote growth. The method has important application value in the aspects of improving the production capacity of plants in a saline-alkali environment, improving saline-alkali soil and the like.

Systems and methods for accelerating plant biomass growth and plant-mediated sequestration of atmospheric carbon, in particular, for selection of microbial drivers thereof from naturally occurring fungal species and / or strains are disclosed. The systems or methods may facilitate identification and propagation of a growth-promoting fungal consortium from a natural fungal microbiome. Sampling kits to collect soil samples are provided. Sample nucleic acid material may be extracted from the soil to generate a fungal microbiome dataset comprising of nucleic acid sequences. A machine learning tool, trained on high productivity ecosystems data, may processes the microbiome dataset to identify the growth-promoting fungal consortium. Propagation may include introducing a soil sample portion into a forest bioreactor to cultivate the growth-promoting fungal consortium, followed by inoculum preparation and application onto plants at a geographic location. Monitoring plant productivity post-inoculation may be achieved using an array of sensors to assess the efficacy of the fungal consortium.

This invention proposes a winter wheat cultivation method to enhance lodging resistance. Step one involves selecting high-quality varieties with high single-plant productivity, strong resistance, high economic efficiency, and no premature aging; choosing flat, sunny plots that are not prone to waterlogging, have fertile soil, good aeration, and convenient irrigation and drainage; deep plowing and fine cultivation, applying base fertilizer per acre, spreading it evenly on the ground, and immediately tilling to a depth of 20-25 cm. This planting method, through scientific and reasonable seed selection and field management, results in high wheat emergence rate, low growth, robust straw, good lodging resistance, and high ear formation rate, effectively improving wheat yield and quality. By setting up anti-lodging anchors and applying fertilizer during the jointing and grain-filling stages, and introducing prepared corn straw fermentation products, the bending strength of wheat stems is enhanced. By significantly increasing the bending strength of wheat stems, the wheat straw's ability to withstand wind and ear pressure is improved.

The application relates to a semi-arid region plant productivity recovery method, relates to the field of ecological restoration technology, and aims to solve the problem that the existing semi-arid region rainfall unevenness leads to poor plant productivity recovery effect. Method: I. selecting a semi-arid region vegetation degradation land as a target recovery sample land, and conducting vegetation investigation; II. dividing the target recovery sample land into a plurality of independent restoration units, and forming a concave landform by digging potential pools in the independent restoration units; III. according to the vegetation investigation result, the landform is divided into xerophytic vegetation zones, hygrophytic vegetation zones and emergent vegetation zones in equal width from top to bottom according to slope, and vegetation configuration is conducted; IV. transplanting dominant vegetation, and supplying water according to the suitable growth water level of the configured plants. The application integrates micro-landform modification and vegetation configuration, the micro-landform modification creates a composite habitat, the growth requirements of different plants are met, after the plants are colonized, the plants can reproduce through seeds and rhizomes, the micro-landform modification is helpful for seed interception, compensation of a seed bank, and the plant productivity recovery is promoted.

Soil plant productivity can be improved by manipulating the soil microbial community. This is achieved by adding bacteria belonging to the order Rhizobiales to the soil.
