Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A major challenge in agriculture is the low nitrogen (N) uptake efficiency of crops, which poses environmental and economic costs. Root adaptive architectural and anatomical phenotypes in synergy with root microbes could be a promising approach to improve plant N uptake. However, little is known about such synergies. Here, we aimed to characterize the spatial distribution of the root prokaryotes of...
