What we know and what we need to know about assembly of the spermosphere microbiome
Presented by Dr. Larry Halverson, Iowa State University
- Relatively little is known about the spermosphere microbiome and how its assembly may ultimately shape the plant microbiome. This is important since the structure of the microbial community along with environmental factors will likely influences community succession patterns that will influence plant health. In this talk we will provide insight into key features influencing spermosphere microbiome assembly and how the environment, including management, could influence the plant microbiome, particularly early in plant growth.
