Rhizomicrobiome Transplantation from Mediterranean Aromatic Plants Differentially Shape Lettuce Growth, Resource Allocation, and Chemical Defense
Traditional holobiont research has largely focused on bacterial taxonomy, often overlooking the functional diversity among strains within a taxon. Using a phenotype-first approach, we evaluated the responses of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) to culture-enriched rhizosphere microbial communities (transplanted inocula; RMs)...
