Investigating GERMs: how genotype, environment, and rhizosphere microbiome interactions underlie heat response in maize and sorghum.

Abstract excerpt

Plant responses to heat stress emerge from interactions among host genotype, environment, and the rhizosphere microbiome, yet most studies examine these components in isolation. We applied the Genotype × Environment × Rhizosphere Microbiomes (GERMs) framework to test how host-microbe coordination contributes to heat tolerance in cereal crops Zea mays and Sorghum bicolor. We analyzed maize and sorghum grown under...
