Root Exudates and Mineral Nutrition. Plants respond to nutrient deficiency by altering root morphology, recruiting the help of microorganisms and changing the chemical environment of the rhizosphere.

In an advance for agriculture, a new study reveals how wheat plants actively influence the microbial communities living on and inside their roots—and how these root microbiomes change over time ...

The rhizosphere, for instance, or the area surrounding the roots, contains some 30,000 species in some plants with a community mix that varies across plant cultivars and soil types. Yet we know ...

We are specifically focused on plant rhizosphere and human lung microbiomes and how interactions within these microbial communities affect the fitness and survival of associated host organisms.
