Podcast Short: Exploring Endophytes for Healthier Plants with Maizie Koentopp

This is the first time we’ve had a high schooler on the podcast! Maizie Koentopp, a 9th grader in Chicago, conducted a simple yet elegant experiment on buckwheat plants. Motivated by her father’s urban farming work and her own concern about climate change, Maizie wanted to test the effect of endophytic bacteria on plant development as an alternative to harmful agrochemicals. She compared seeds inoculated with AEA’s BioCoat Gold™ to a non-inoculated control, and found that inoculated seeds (in both sterilized and non-sterilized soil) grew faster, had higher survival rates, and developed more root hairs. If others in Maizie’s generation share her curiosity, poise, and scientific rigor, then our future is in good hands." Additional Resources To read more about her research, click here.
