Seasonal shifts in rhizosphere microbial populations were investigated to follow the
influence of plant developmental stage. A field study of indigenous microbial rhizosphere …

A number of studies have reported species specific selection of microbial communities in the
rhizosphere by plants. It is hypothesised that plants influence microbial community structure …

The aims of the present work were (1) to determine the influence of plant growth stages on
the population size of culturable bacteria and fungi associated with rhizoplane and endo …

The plant rhizosphere microbiota plays multiple roles in plant growth. We investigated the
taxonomic and functional variations in the rhizosphere microbial community, examining both …

Rhizosphere bacteria have significant contributions to crop health, productivity and carbon
sequestration. As maize (Zea mays) is an important economic crop, its rhizosphere bacterial …

This study investigates the small-scale stratification of bacterial community composition and
functional diversity in the rhizosphere of maize. Maize seedlings were grown in a microcosm …

Rhizosphere microbial communities are important for plant nutrition and plant health. Using
the culture-independent method of PCR-DGGE of 16S rDNA for community analyses, we …

Highly diverse communities of bacteria inhabiting soybean rhizospheres play pivotal roles in
plant growth and crop production; however, little is known about the changes that occur in …

Rhizosphere microbes are critical for plant growth and vitality, but the structure of the root-
associated microbial community varies due to site-specific soil factors and plant traits. Here …

Accelerated biodegradation of organic contaminants in planted soil is frequently reported yet
our current understanding of plant–microbe interactions does not allow us to predict which …
