Muhammad Tayyab is a Pakistani agricultural scientist and microbiome researcher known for his work on plant–soil–microbe interactions, sustainable crop production, and soil health.[1][2] He has contributed to understanding how organic amendments and crop management influence microbial communities in agricultural systems, and more recently to microbiome engineering in aquaculture.[3]

Education

Tayyab received his Bachelor of Science in Agronomy from Gomal University, Pakistan. He then moved to China for graduate studies, earning a Master of Philosophy in Crop Cultivation and Farming Systems from Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University (FAFU) in 2018, with a thesis on the influence of sugarcane straw and goat manure on soil nutrient transformation and bacterial communities.[4]

He completed his PhD in Agricultural Sciences at FAFU in 2022, with a dissertation titled "Different cultivars and organic fertilization practices improve sugarcane rhizosphere soil properties and microbiome in monoculture system."[1] His doctoral research examined how different sugarcane cultivars and organic fertilization practices affect rhizosphere soil properties and the soil microbiome under the supervision of Lin Wenxiong, a soil scientist in agroecology.[5][6][7]

Career and research

Postdoctoral research

Tayyab has held postdoctoral positions at Shantou University in China and the Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA) in France.[3][1] At Shantou University, he investigated host–microbiome interactions in aquaculture systems, applying metagenomics, microbial network analysis, and R-based bioinformatics to understand microbial dynamics in shrimp aquaculture and identify keystone taxa associated with disease resistance.[3][8]

At URCA, his research contributes to the AllEcoSys European project, a transnational initiative using a network of living labs across Europe to develop strategies for enhancing soil health, functional biodiversity, and natural pest control through diversified cropping systems such as intercropping and cover crops.[1] His research integrates multi-omics approaches (16S/ITS amplicon sequencing, metagenomics) with soil enzyme profiling to study plant–soil–microbe interactions under conservation agriculture regimes.[1]

Research contributions

Tayyab's research focuses on understanding how agricultural management practices shape soil, plant, and aquatic microbiomes. His early work demonstrated that organic fertilization with sugarcane straw and goat manure enhances rhizosphere microbial diversity, enriches beneficial fungi such as Mortierella, and improves soil health and crop yield in sugarcane monoculture systems.[4][9] He has also studied the effects of biochar on plant drought resistance and soil microbial communities.[10]

In his postdoctoral work at Shantou University, Tayyab applied microbiome engineering approaches to enhance disease resistance in aquaculture, investigating probiotic–vaccine synergy and the role of the shrimp hsp90 gene family in mitigating nitrite-induced stress.[8][3] He has also contributed to studies on microplastic and nanoplastic impacts on aquatic organisms.[11]

Editorial work

In 2026, Tayyab was appointed as a Topic Editor for the Frontiers Research Topic "Legume Intercropping and Rotation: Impacts on Soil Microbiomes," an international[12] collection organized with colleagues from Shantou University, Xianghu Laboratory (Hangzhou, China), and Superior University (Lahore, Pakistan).[[11]

His research has been supported by major national funding programs, including the National Key Research and Development Program of China (2022YFD2301105) and the National Sugar Industry Technology System (CARS-170401), through collaborations with Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University.[13][14][15]

Selected publications

According to Google Scholar, Tayyab has authored over 30 peer-reviewed articles, which have received more than 2,400 citations, with an h-index of 27.[1]
