Phyllosphere and Rhizosphere Microbial Communitites
The above- and belowground parts of rice plants create specific habitats for various microorganisms. While the identity and the ecological impact of microorganisms that live in association with rice roots are subject of extensive studies for many years, less is known about the microorganisms in the rice phyllosphere. In this study, we characterized the phyllosphere and rhizosphere microbiota of rice cultivars using a metaproteogenomic approach to get insight into the physiology of the bacteria and archaea.
