Biological nitrogen fixation by free-living bacteria and rhizobial symbiosis with legumes plays a key role in sustainable crop production. Here, we study how different crop combinations influence the interaction between peanut plants and their rhizosphere microbiota via metabolite deposition and ...
Background:
Primary succession is predicted to proceed through shifts from stress-tolerant to competitive to cooperative ecological strategies as resource availability increases, yet molecular evidence for these transitions in microbial systems remains limited. Here, we used an integrated m...
