Nitrogen fertliser is not as healthy & active as nitrogen activated for plants by bacteria powered by 600 million years of evolution. Nitrogen fertiliser prevents the development of a healthy #rhizosphere (soil microbiome) aka healthy soils.

Schematic overview of the intricacies of eco-evolutionary processes mediating plant–microbe interactions in the rhizosphere

Revisiting the cry-for-help hypothesis in plant-microbe interactions.
1. Stress-enhaced root exudation is rather a consequence of physiological adaptation, rather then a targeted recource allocation to recruit beneficial microbies.

Another freshly minted PhD from our lab. Congratulations, Dr. Ulla Rosskopf 🥳! For her PhD within the #Rhizosphere #SPP2089, Ulla looked at how roots deform the soil, how much force they need to penetrate it and the role that mucilage palys in all of this. Very well done, Ulla!
FIGURE 4 Bacteria in the A, rhizosphere and B, leaf epiphyte microbiomes of table beet from samples collected in New York in 2021 and 2022. The heat trees depict community composition of taxa detected in at least 90% of samples for each sample type. Node size and color indicate the percentage of total reads and the total number of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) assigned to each node. Stars indicate taxa with higher abundance compared with bulk soil communities.
Eric Branch et al. evaluated bacteria and fungi in the #rhizosphere and #phyllosphere microbiomes and identify the core taxa of table beet. Learn more: https://doi.org/10.1094/PHYTOFR-03-25-0022-R
