Antibiotic resistome patterns across wheat soil microdomains under cadmium exposure and their associations with rhizosphere metabolite profiles.
The co-contamination of heavy metals and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) poses an increasing challenge to agroecosystems, yet its relationships with rhizosphere metabolism and microbial communities remain poorly understood. We integrated metagenomic sequencing, untargeted metabolomics, and absolute qPCR in a wheat p...
