Root-Associated Microbiome of Maize Genotypes with Contrasting Phosphorus Use Efficiency

Marginal soil fertility, soil acidity, aluminum toxicity, and a generalized low level of available nutrients, especially phosphorus (P), are major limiting factors to maize production in highly weathered oxisols that are prominent in the tropics. Plants have evolved several strategies to improve P a...
