Microbial communities play a pivotal role in the functioning of plants by influencing their
physiology and development. While many members of the rhizosphere microbiome are …

Agricultural productivity to meet growing demands of human population is a matter of great
concern for all countries. Use of green compounds to achieve the sustainable agriculture is …

While interactions between roots and microorganisms have been intensively studied, we
know little about interactions among root‐associated microbes. We used random matrix …

Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) associations range in degree of bacterial proximity
