TL;DR: In this paper, the root-derived flavones predominantly promote the enrichment of bacteria of the taxa Oxalobacteraceae in the rhizosphere, which in turn promote maize growth and nitrogen acquisition.

TL;DR: In this article , the root and rhizosphere microbiome of 129 accessions of Zea mays , sourced from diverse 68 habitats and grown under control and different stress conditions, was surveyed and the impact of domestication and local adaptation on heritable variation in microbiome assembly was demonstrated.

TL;DR: This chapter summarizes the current state of the transcriptomic dissection of maize root development on the level of whole roots, tissues, and individual cells and outlines novel findings related to gene expression plasticity in primary roots of maize hybrids during the early manifestation of heterosis.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors demonstrated the central role of EGT2 and its interaction partners in the networks controlling root zone-specific transcriptomic reprogramming of barley roots upon gravistimulation.

TL;DR: In this article , the lrt1 gene was cloned by mapping in combination with BSA-seq and subsequent validation via CRISPR/Cas9, showing that DCAF proteins play a key role in root-type specific lateral root formation in maize.
