ISME J. 7 (2013), 2248–2258 Using RNA-based metatranscriptomics, the microbiomes from soil and rhizospheres of wheat, oat and pea were analyzed. This study revealed profound differences in the rhizosphere microbiome, particularly at the kingdom level between plants.

ISME J. 8 (2014), 790–803 The authors analyzed the structure of the rhizospheric bacterial community associated with Arabidopsis at distinct stages of plant development. Their results suggested that the plant can select a subset of microbes at different stages of development, presumably for specific functions, such as streptomycin synthesis at the flowering stage.

PLoS One, 11, 2016, e0156515, 10.1371/journal.pone.0156515 The authors compared the effect of watermelon monoculture, rotation with garlic and manure application on the biological properties of the soil. The results indicated that populations of soil bacteria and actinomycetes and the bacteria/fungi ratio increased significantly in the treatments compared to monoculture, and soil enzyme activities were generally enhanced also under treatments.

Results showed that local taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity of soil bacteria increases after conversion, but communities become more similar across space, suggesting that human activities can lead to homogenization of the microbial communities.
