Next-Generation Bio-Products Sowing the Seeds of Success for Sustainable Agriculture (2013, background): “A multitude of biotic and abiotic factors influence the structural and functional diversity of microbial communities in the rhizosphere [6].”
The Soil Microbiome Influences Grapevine-Associated Microbiota (2015, background): “However, when not inoculated, plant roots are known to influence rhizosphere microbial community composition through both root morphology and selective enrichment via root exudation (9).”
Root exudation of sugars, amino acids, and organic acids by maize as affected by nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and iron deficiency (2011, background): “Nevertheless, the quantity and composition of root exudates is influenced by many factors (Jones et al., 2004) including the soil structure (Berg and Smalla, 2009), the presence of microorganisms (GroleauRenaud et al., 2000), the plant species (Lesuffleur et al., 2007) as well as their…”
Root Exudation: The Ecological Driver of Hydrocarbon Rhizoremediation (2016, background): “The structure of the rhizosphere microbial community depends on soil type [75–78], temporal changes (seasons) and environmental factors [79,80], plant species and genotype [75,81–85], plant development stage [85–87] and signaling of plant hormones [88].”
Variation in forest soil fungal diversity along a latitudinal gradient (2013, background): “Given that soil fungi are best known for their relationships with plants, whether symbiotic, parasitic, or saprophytic, it is not surprising that current soil fungal biogeography is primarily defined by the global distribution of known plant hosts and plant-defined biomes (Berg and Smalla 2009).”
Linking ecology with economy: Insights into polyhydroxyalkanoate‐producing microorganisms (2011, background): “The rhizosphere is defined as the volume of soil adjacent to and influenced by the plant root and as a habitat of great microbial diversity [71, 72].”
Tomato seeds preferably transmit plant beneficial endophytes (2018, background): “Following a long debate, it is accepted that the plant genotype and soil quality are the crucial factors influencing the composition of the rhizosphere microbiota (Berg and Smalla 2009).”
