- Intraspecific root traits variations affect rhizosphere soil biota diversity and network complexity in a tropical common garden (2026) · Plant and Soil · doi
The effects of root trait variation on rhizosphere soil biota have been largely overlooked, especially for nematodes. Prior work has focused on the effects of root trait variation on bacteria and fungi, but the relationships between root traits and nematodes are not well understood.

Further studies are needed to explore the mechanisms by which nematode communities and their associated microbiota contribute to the self-organization of plant holobionts. Future research should investigate the potential of using nematode communities and their associated microbiota to engineer crop holobionts. Additional studies are needed to determine the effects of different nematode communities and their associated microbiota on plant holobionts.
