To date, the community composition and functional shifts of the rhizosphere microbiome in tobacco plants infected with Fusarium root rot remain poorly understood. Methods: In this study, we analyzed ...

Soil viruses influence microbial community dynamics, nutrient cycling, and plant resilience against environmental stresses. Recent studies have revealed the significance of viral activity in shaping ...

Research shows that legumes can detect the quality of the rhizobial strains in their root nodules and they have ‘policing’ mechanisms that select for cooperative, nitrogen-sharing rhizobia and against ...

Microbial-faunal (micro-, meso- and macrofauna) interactions play a critical role in a variety of biological functions both in the rhizosphere (the zone directly surrounding and influenced by roots) ...
