rhizosphere-microbiome

12 articles

The rhizosphere microbiome refers to the dynamic community of bacteria, fungi, and archaea that colonize the zone of soil immediately surrounding plant roots and the root interior itself, forming assemblages distinct from bulk soil microbial communities. Understanding these microbial partnerships is central to plant science because root-associated microorganisms influence nutrient uptake, disease resistance, and stress tolerance in their host plants. Decoding how plants selectively recruit and shape these communities opens pathways to improving crop health and soil sustainability without relying solely on chemical inputs.
