Soybean rhizosphere bacterial community intercropped with halophyte
The primary goal of this study is to decipher the mechanisms by which intercropping with the halophyte Suaeda salsaalleviates salt stress in soybean (Glycine max), with a specific focus on the role of rhizosphere microbial communities. We hypothesize that root-root interactions, independent of the halophyte's physical desalination effect, actively reshape the soybean rhizosphere microbiome and metabolome, leading to enhanced stress tolerance.
