Breeding effects on the root-associated microbiome of Zea mays L. are linked to plant-induced variation in soil water potentials Abstract. Modern crop varieties may exert reduced influence on their microbiome compared to their progenitors, as plant-microbe interactions were not targe

#NicolasTyborski and our wonderful #Rhizotraits team unravel how old landraces and modern varieties of maize distinctly modulate their #rhizosphere #microbiomes under drought via soil water potentials!

Most inspiring spring meeting of our #BMFTR @bonares.bsky.social funded #Rhizotraits project in Raitenhaslach Monastery of @tum.de ⛪️ Thanks to all colleagues of @bayceer.bsky.social, #LfL … for fruitful discussions 🌽👍🏼

Frontiers | Consistent prokaryotic community patterns along the radial root axis of two Zea mays L. landraces across two distinct field locations The close interconnection of plants with rhizosphere- and root-associated microorganisms is well recognized, and high expectations are raised for considering...

🤩 Just out in #FrontMicrobiol!
Great work by #NicolasTyborski and entire #Rhizotraits team on how landraces of maize select for surprisingly similar #rizosphere #microbiome taxa at very different field sites! More coming up soon!
