This fall, the University of North Texas and Agricen announced that they will be collaborating on research into plant-microbe relationships in agricultural systems. Employing next-generation sequencing, the joint research program will focus on better understanding the role that microbial diversity plays in building and sustaining crop production.

With this new collaboration, the University of North Texas now joins other Agricen academic research partners, including Auburn University, the University of Kentucky, and Texas A&M University.
