Strong efforts have been made to understand the bacterial communities in potato plants and
the rhizosphere. Research has focused on the effect of the environment and plant genotype …

Background Plants selectively attract particular soil microorganisms, in particular consumers
of root-excreted compounds. It is unclear to what extent cultivar type and/or growth stage …

In the past, the potato plant microbiota and rhizosphere have been studied in detail to
improve plant growth and fitness. However, less is known about the postharvest potato tuber …

The rhizospheres of five different potato cultivars (including a genetically modified cultivar)
obtained from a loamy sand soil and two from a sandy peat soil, next to corresponding bulk …

The aim of this study was to describe the variability in the root-associated bacterial
community due to location and clone, and to determine whether an underlying core bacterial …

The rhizosphere hosts a rich microflora supporting plant nutrition and health. We examined
bacterial rhizosphere microbiota of Solanum tuberosum grown in its center of origin, the …

Every land plant exists in a close relationship with microbial communities of several niches:
rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, etc. The growth and yield of potato—a critical food …

The phylogenetic composition of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of three potato
cultivars grown at two distant field sites was analysed. Ribosomal gene fragments amplified …

Plant‐associated microbiomes assist their host in a variety of activities, spanning from
nutrition to defence against herbivores and diseases. Previous research showed that plant …

The surface of tubers might be a reservoir for bacteria that are disseminated with seed
potatoes or that affect postharvest damage. The numbers of culturable bacteria and their …
