Abstract excerpt
Biofertilizers offer a promising avenue to reduce phosphate fertilizer reliance. However, inconsistent lab-to-field conversion undermines confidence in the technology. Increasingly, initial screens of bacteria are conducted in silico, based on the presence of a widely accepted set of phosphate solubilization-associated "canon" genes. However, these genes capture only a subset of the mechanisms observed...
