Since the holobiont concept came into the limelight ten years ago, we have become aware
that responses of holobionts to climate change stressors may be driven by shifts in the …

Hill prairies are remnant grasslands perched on the bluffs of major river valleys, and
because their steep slopes make them unsuitable for traditional row crop agriculture, they …

Study of rhizospheric microbial communities of plants growing under different environmental
conditions is important for understanding the habitat-dependent formation of rhizosphere …

The GacS histidine kinase is the membrane sensor of the major upstream two-component
system of the regulatory Gac/Rsm signal transduction pathway. This pathway governs the …

Our previous publications and the data presented here provide evidences on the ability of
plant-based culture media to optimize the cultivability of rhizobacteria and to support their …

The activity of extracellular phosphatases is a dynamic process controlled by both plant
roots and microorganisms, which is responsible for the mineralization of soil phosphorus (P) …

Biologically important plant-microbe interactions are mediated by a wide array of signal
compounds rhizodeposited from both plant and microbial species. Root exudates are some …

Recent studies showed that plant roots influence the composition of the bacterial population
present in their rhizosphere. This observation implies that roots can affect their own …

Drought and salinity are major factors limiting agriculture in many regions in the world, and
their importance is predicted to even increase in the near future in parallel with the ongoing …

Production of medicinal tubers of Rehmannia glutinosa is severely hindered by replanting
issues. However, a mechanistic understanding of the plant-soil factors associated with …
