Microbiome Dynamics Associated With the Atacama Flowering Desert [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 In a desert, plants as holobionts quickly respond to resource pulses like precipitation. However, little is known on how environment and plants modulate the rhizosphere-associated microbiome. As a model species to represent the Atacama Desert bloom, Cistanthe longiscapa (Montiaceae family) was selected to study the influence of abiotic and biotic ...
