Root bacterial and archaeal microbiota dynamics over the life cycle of rice plants. Targeted loci environmental. Oryza sativa root microbiota

We monitored how the rice root microbiota changes over the course of the plant's life cycle. We inspected how rhizocompartment, field geography, seasonal variation, and plant development rates affect this process.Using these data we formed a model to predict plant age and tested how abiotic factors affect microbiota development.
