Assessing bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of 8-year-old genetically modified poplar (Populus spp.)
Microbe communities in rhizosphere ecosystems are important for plant health but there is limited knowledge of them in the rhizospheres of genetically modified (GM) plants, especial for tree species. We used t...
