- Root Transporters Shape Rhizosphere Microbiomes to Enhance Nitrogen Acquisition Efficiency in Plants (2026) · Microorganisms · doi
Most studies have examined plant N transport systems and microbial N cycling independently, with limited integration of both systems into a unified framework. There is a need for an integrated perspective on how root N transporters and rhizosphere microbial communities interact to regulate N acquisition.

Although recent studies have partially clarified the mechanisms underlying carbon-nitrogen, carbon-phosphorus, and other nutrient exchange processes between plant roots and microbes, a systematic understanding of these nutrient exchange strategies remains insufficient.
