EVALUATION OF STRATEGIES TO SEPARATE ROOT-ASSOCIATED MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES: A CRUCIAL CHOICE IN RHIZOBIOME RESEARCH

Evaluation of strategies to separate root-associated microbial communities: A crucial choice in rhizobiome research

Plants shape distinct, species-specific microbiomes in their rhizospheres.A main premise for evaluating microbial communities associated with root-soil compartments is their successful separation into the rhizosphere (soil-root interface), the rhizoplane (root surface), and the endosphere (inside roots).We evaluated different approaches (washing, s
