Artificial Selection on Microbiomes To Breed Microbiomes That Confer Salt Tolerance to Plants

ABSTRACT We develop a method to artificially select for rhizosphere microbiomes that confer salt tolerance to the model grass Brachypodium distachyon grown under sodium salt stress or aluminum salt stress. In a controlled greenhouse environment, we differentially propagated rhizosphere microbiomes b...
