Background Crop rotation is an agronomic practice that is known to enhance productivity
and yield, and decrease pest and disease pressure. Economic and other factors have …

Canola is one of the most economically important crops in Canada, and the root and
rhizosphere microbiomes of a canola plant likely impact its growth and nutrient uptake. The …

The subterranean microbiota of plants is of great importance for plant growth and health, as
root-associated microbes can perform crucial ecological functions. As the microbial …

Canola (Brassica napus) is an important broadacre crop, produced under high nitrogen (N)
fertilizer application. Modern canola varieties are developed under high N rates but the …

With increasing canola (Brassica napus L.) acreage in the Inland Pacific Northwest of the
USA, we investigated the effect of this relatively new rotational crop on soil microbial …

Modifying the rhizosphere microbiome through targeted plant breeding is key to harnessing
positive plant–microbial interrelationships in cropping agroecosystems. Here, we examine …

Rhizosphere microbes influence one another, forming extremely complex webs of
interactions that may determine plant success. Identifying the key factors that structure the …

Background The plant microbiome plays a vital role in determining host health and
productivity. However, we lack real-world comparative understanding of the factors which …

The rhizosphere hosts a complex web of prokaryotes interacting with one another that may
modulate crucial functions related to plant growth and health. Identifying the key factors …

Background The plant root-rhizosphere microbial community interactions play important
roles in crop production as those interactions can be beneficial, detrimental, or neutral for …
