Populus root exudates are associated with rhizosphere microbial communities and symbiotic patterns

Abstract

This study showed the association of rhizosphere microorganisms (dominant and keystone taxa) with differential root exudates in the rhizosphere of <i>Populus</i> plants, and revealed the assembly process of the dominant and keystone taxa. It provides a theoretical basis for the identification and utilization of beneficial microorganisms in <i>Populus</i> rhizosphere.
