Different selective effects on rhizosphere bacteria exerted by genetically modified versus conventional potato lines.

Different selective effects on rhizosphere bacteria exerted by genetically modified versus conventional potato lines.

BACKGROUND: In this study, we assessed the actively metabolizing bacteria in the rhizosphere of potato using two potato cultivars, i.e. the genetically-modified (GM) cultivar Modena (having tubers with altered starch content) and the near-isogenic non-GM cultivar Karnico. To achieve our aims, we pul...
