In 1904 the German agronomist and plant physiologist Lorenz Hiltner first coined the term "rhizosphere" to describe the plant-root interface, a word originating in part from the Greek word "rhiza ...

Underneath the surface, plant roots interact with microbes in the soil, also called the rhizosphere microbiome. Cell & Microbiology May 19, 2021 ...

Climate change is altering the elevation range limits of many organisms, often driving upward range shifts. In this context, reduced air pressure poses a potentially novel environmental problem for ...

A new study published in the Journal of Plant Ecology has found that temperate forest tree species, regardless of their root ...

In an advance for agriculture, a new study reveals how wheat plants actively influence the microbial communities ... Using next-generation DNA sequencing, the team analyzed bacterial communities in ...

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.
