A startup backed by agribusiness giant Bayer AG is opening a greenhouse to study how microbes can be used to protect crops from pests and diseases.

Joyn Bio will use the 6,048 square-foot facility in Woodland, California to engineer microbial strains that are good for plants, the company said in a statement Wednesday.
