Sure, microbes can be bad for plants, but there are tons of good ones out there too! Are some beneficial microbes better for plants than others? How do plants choose which microbes to interact with?

University of Illinois plant biologist Dr. Katy Heath is trying to answer these questions with her research! She studies the interactions between the legume Medicago truncatula and beneficial microbes called 'rhizobia.'

To find out more about Katy's research, check out the Heath Lab website
