Identifying plant genes shaping microbiota composition in the barley rhizosphere

A prerequisite to exploiting soil microbes for sustainable crop production is the identification of the plant genes shaping microbiota composition in the rhizosphere. Here, the authors report QTLs and the associated candidate genes underlying rhizosphere microbiome composition in barley.
