Abstract excerpt
Rhizosphere microbiomes play an essential role in promoting plant growth and health. Although host genotype is known to shape rhizosphere microbial communities, it remains unclear whether core microbial taxa can persist across genetically diverse hosts and contribute to plant performance. Here, we conducted a large-scale analysis of 1005 rhizosphere samples from 335 maize populations to investigate the effects of...
