Rhizosphere: biophysics, biogeochemistry and ecological relevance (2009, background): “The rhizosphere is best defined as the volume of soil around living roots, which is influenced by root activity (the “Einflusssphäre der Wurzel” according to Hiltner (1904) in Hartmann et al. 2008).”
Use of beneficial bacteria and their secondary metabolites to control grapevine pathogen diseases (2013, background): “Since the rhizosphere concept of Lorenz Hiltner describing that the soil surrounding roots is influenced by plants and by microorganisms (Hiltner 1904; Hartmann et al. 2008), a large number of studies have demonstrated that part of the rhizobacteria inhabiting the rhizosphere can stimulate plant gro”
Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria as Bioinoculants: Attributes and Challenges for Sustainable Crop Improvement (2021, background): “According to Hartmann and colleagues [13], Hiltner also hypothesized that “the resistance of plants towards pathogenesis is dependent on the composition of the rhizosphere microflora”.”
Microbial Consortia versus Single-Strain Inoculants: An Advantage in PGPM-Assisted Tomato Production? (2019, background): “The commercial use of microbial BS in crop production was based initially on targeted selection of efficient single strain inoculants, starting with a first patent already in 1896 on Rhizobia to increase the atmospheric nitrogen fixation potential in leguminous plants [12].”
The rhizosphere: complex by design (2008, background): “It starts with the paper by Hartmann et al. (2008a) which was actually presented at RHIZOSPHERE 2004 in Munich and provides a historical perspective to the pioneer ideas of Hiltner, with a translation of the key paragraphs of his seminal publication of 1904, one of the most cited rhizosphere paper,…”
A review on the plant microbiome: Ecology, functions, and emerging trends in microbial application (2019, background): “Root exudates such as organic acids, amino acids, fatty acids, phenolics, plant growth regulators, nucleotides, sugars, putrescine, sterols, and vitamins are known to affect microbial composition around roots, the so-called rhizosphere effect [8,17].”
Rhizosphere interactions: root exudates, microbes, and microbial communities1 (2014, background): “The term rhizosphere was first defined over a century ago by Lorentz Hiltner (Hartmann et al. 2008; Hiltner 1904) and redefined by Pinton as the zone that includes the soil influenced by the root along with the root tissues colonized by microorganisms (Morgan Received 5 September 2013.”
Exploring interactions of plant microbiomes (2014, background): “Plant selection for the rhizosphere microbial communities The rhizosphere is defined as the soil region under the influence of the roots (Hiltner, 1904, as cited by Hartmann et al., 2008; Philippot et al., 2013).”
Plant-driven selection of microbes (2009, background): “This is a wide and wise definition, already coined more than hundred years ago by Lorenz Hiltner, as documented in detail by Hartmann et al. (2008).”
Impact of root exudates and plant defense signaling on bacterial communities in the rhizosphere. A review (2011, background): “The term rhizosphere, meaning the soil compartment influenced by plant roots, was first defined in 1904 by Lorentz Hiltner (Hiltner 1904; Hartmann et al. 2008), and after a century of rhizosphere research it can be concluded that many microbial interactions occur in this specific environmental…”
The role of microorganisms at different stages of ecosystem development for soil formation (2013, background): “The phenomenon of enhanced microbial activity and abundance in the rhizosphere of plants is known as the “rhizosphere effect” (Butler et al., 2003; Hartmann et al., 2008).”
Response and interaction of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the soybean rhizosphere (2018, background): “In 1904 the German agronomist and plant physiologist Lorenz Hiltner coined the term ‘rhizosphere’ to describe the plant-root interface, a word originating in part from the Greek word “rhiza” meaning root (Hartmann et al. 2008).”
Next-Generation Bio-Products Sowing the Seeds of Success for Sustainable Agriculture (2013, background): “In 1904, more than 100 years ago, Lorenz Hiltner (Munich, Germany) defined the term “rhizosphere” as root-surrounding soil influenced by root exudates [1].”
Plant-microbe-soil interactions in the rhizosphere: an evolutionary perspective (2009, background): “These interactions, called the rhizosphere effect (Hartmann et al. 2008), correspond to the stimulation of microbial community activities in the rhizosphere compared with those in the bulk soil due to C released by roots, i.e. rhizodeposition.”
Rhizosphere engineering: Enhancing sustainable plant ecosystem productivity (2017, unknown): “plant growth has been known for over one hundred years (Hartmann et al., 2008).”
Root Exudation: The Ecological Driver of Hydrocarbon Rhizoremediation (2016, background): “, the soil immediately adjacent to roots (a few millimeters thick) and influenced by plant roots [72,73].”
