Bacterial root endophytes reside in a vast number of plant species as part of their root
microbiome, with some being shown to positively influence plant growth. Endophyte …

The rhizosphere is of central importance not only for plant nutrition, health and quality but
also for microorganism-driven carbon sequestration, ecosystem functioning and nutrient …

Host-associated microbiomes influence host health. However, it is unclear whether
genotypic variations in host organisms influence the microbiome in ways that have adaptive …

The rhizosphere was defined over 100 years ago as the zone around the root where
