Different genotypes of Silene vulgaris (Moench) Garcke grown on chromium-contaminated soils influence root organic acid composition and rhizosphere bacterial communities.

Abstract excerpt

Plant-microbe interactions are considered to be important processes determining the efficiency of phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils. However, relatively little is known about how these interactions are influenced by chromium (Cr) contamination. The effect of Cr stress on metal uptake, root organic acid composition, and rhizosphere bacterial communities was studied using two genotypes of the...
