A number of soil organisms are known to enhance plant growth. Prominent among those are the arbuscularmycorrhizal fungi (AMF). These organisms associate with the roots of most land plants an crops, therebyimproving their acquisition of nutrients such as phosphate and nitrate and thus improving their growth.Because of their many beneficial effects on plant yield, global companies now specialize in the production ofAMF-based inoculum to be used in organic agriculture practices. RISEHoP is a rising Canadian company inthis field that produces a new biofertilizer under the brand MYConnect, which contains an AMF strain(Rhizoglomus irregulare) not available to competition. This strain was isolated from the field by specializedscientists at RISEHoP and was shown to outperform those used by the competition in terms of plant growth.The quality and uniqueness of this strain provides RISEHoP a significant competitive advantage in thishigh-growth green industry. The collaboration between RISEHoP and the Corradi lab will offer the companyopportunities to quantify and trace their new AMF strain in the field and "in house" using DNA-based markers,and will allow the company to identify new strains that could be used to find novel optimal AMF strains thatwill further enhance their new agroproducts.

已知许多土壤生物可以增强植物的生长。其中突出的是Arbuscularmycorrhizal真菌（AMF）。这些生物与大多数陆地植物的根源相关联，从而证明了它们对磷酸盐和硝酸盐等营养素的收购，从而改善了它们的生长。由于它们对植物产量的许多有益影响现在，全球公司现在专注于基于AMF的污染物的生产，以在有机农业实践中使用。 RiseHop是一家新兴的加拿大公司，该公司在MyConnect品牌下生产新的生物量化剂，其中包含AMF菌株（Rhizoglomus irregulare），不可竞争。这菌株是由RiseHop的专业学家从现场分离出来的，并且被证明在植物生长方面胜过竞争所用的菌株。这种菌株的质量和独特性为RiseHop提供了这种高增长的绿色工业的重要竞争优势。 RiseHop与Corradi实验室之间的合作将为公司提供，以量化和追踪其在该领域的新AMF菌株，并使用基于DNA的标记“内部”，并允许该公司确定可用于找到新型最佳AMF菌株的新菌株，以进一步增强其新的农业生产力。
