Compartment-specific assembly and genotype-associated differentiation of root microbiomes in saline-alkali-sensitive and -tolerant maize inbred lines.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Plant-associated microorganisms can enhance crop growth and resilience to environmental stressors. Maize (Zea mays L.) selectively recruits beneficial microbes under saline–alkali stress; however, the interplay between maize genotypic variation and microbial community dynamics remains poorly understood. Here, we compared the structure, diversity, and functional potential of root-associated microbial...
