    Short-term restoration practices change the bacterial community in degraded soil from the Brazilian semiarid

    Land degradation by deforestation adversely impacts soil properties, and long-term restoration practices have been reported to potentially reverse these effects, particularly on soil microorganisms. However, t...

    Domestication of Lima Bean (Phaseolus lunatus) Changes the Microbial Communities in the Rhizosphere

    Plants modulate the soil microbiota and select a specific microbial community in the rhizosphere. However, plant domestication reduces genetic diversity, changes plant physiology, and could have an impact on t...

    Genetically related genotypes of cowpea present similar bacterial community in the rhizosphere

    Plant breeding reduces the genetic diversity of plants and could influence the composition, structure, and diversity of the rhizosphere microbiome, selecting more homogeneous and specialized microbes. In this ...
