Show abstract
The rhizosphere microbiome directly influences plant health and acclimation to extreme environments, yet plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere have proven complex and difficult to study. We present RhizoGrid, a new methodological framework that integrates a 3D-printed pot structure with spatial measurements of root structure, metabollite and taxonomy to detect links between metabolites and microbes along a soil-grown root system. The RhizoGrid identifies microhabitats hidden belowground. Using the food, forage, and bioenergy crop sorghum, we showcase how the RhizoGrid opens new frontiers for exploring the heterogeneity and complexity of interactions between root exudates and microbes in the rhizosphere.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
