What is it about?

In this study, we characterized the rhizosphere and endosphere microbiomes of field-grown sorghum exposed to drought or nitrogen stress. While changes in community composition were relatively subtle in stressed plants, the community organization as assessed by network analysis was altered, including increased connectivity among individual members.

Why is it important?

Changes in community organization suggest changes in how microbes interact, and possibly changes in how those microbes work together to influence plant health.
