Improve Your Understanding of Plants
JonahPlant delivers insight into the health of plants
- Our JonahPlant services answer questions about domestic and wild plants
- By sequencing plant material or soil, we quantify pathogens and mutualistic microbes
- We sequence the bacteria and fungi of plant microbiomes
We have more than 20 years experience in DNA Sequencing Technology.
JonahPlant helps quantify
Fungal-like pathogens such as Pythium or Fusarium
Bacterial pathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae or Ralstonia solanacearum
Microbial probiotic assemblages in leaves, roots, or seeds
418
An individual leaf can host this many bacterial taxa
Helping growers avoid major losses due to plant diseases has been incredibly rewarding. The potential to see what has so long been invisible is staggering.

Example Data
Shown here are data on fungal abundance sequenced on plant leaves. In this case, leaves are macerated and the DNA extracted, amplified, and sequenced.
Taxa such as Olpidium brassicae, Botryosphaeriaceae species and Fusarium sp., for example, are all known to be plant pathogens and a potential indicator of developing fungal outbreak in these plants.
