Two-for-one : root microbiota orchestrates both soil pH and plant nutrition

Siqueira, João Antonio and Gouveia, Debora Gonçalves and Nunes-Nesi, Adriano and Araújo, Wagner L (2023) Two-for-one : root microbiota orchestrates both soil pH and plant nutrition. Trends in Plant Science. ISSN 1360-1385

Abstract

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a crucial limiting factor for crop growth in acid soils. Recently, Liu et al. demonstrated that the root microbiota of rice modulates the responses to Al toxicity and phosphorus limitation, offering intriguing insights into microbiome function and opening new research opportunities.
