Echium vulgare wild populations root, rhizosphere and bulk soil microbiome
Our research explored the metabolic content, genetic diversity, and root prokaryotic microbiome of wild Echium vulgare L. plants at rosette and blooming stages from seven distinct locations. This investigation also considered soil microbiomes and relevant chemical factors. The root microbiome of E. vulgare and the surrounding bulk soil displayed differing microbial diversity based on location, soil pH, plant development and plant genetics.
