The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Functional genomics analysis of plant growth-promoting rhizobacterial traits involved in rhizosphere competence (2011, background): “Bacterial genes expressed during bacterial–plant interactions Plant roots produce and secrete numerous small molecular weight compounds into the rhizosphere (Bais et al. 2006; Denison et al. 2003).”
MOLECULAR CONTROL POINTS IN RHIZOSPHERE FOOD WEBS (2003, background): “Though the importance of specific mutualisms, such as mycorrhizae, is well documented, the mechanisms of their persistence are debated (Denison et al. 2003).”
Protozoa and plant growth: the microbial loop in soil revisited. (2004, background): “Nevertheless, theory suggests major conflicts of interest (Denison et al., 2003).”
Sanctions, Cooperation, and the Stability of Plant-Rhizosphere Mutualisms (2008, background): “This result represents a reverse of trends in wheat breeding responsible for much of the increase in yield potential over decades, namely fewer shoots per plant (but more plants per square meter) and more allocation to grain at the expense of leaves, stem, and root (Denison et al. 2003b).”
