Nutrient availability and plant phenological stage influence the substrate microbiome in container-grown Impatiens walleriana 'Xtreme Red'.

Background: The microbiome plays a fundamental role in plant health and performance. Soil serves as a reservoir of microbial diversity where plants attract microorganisms via root exudates. The soil has an important impact on the composition of the rhizosphere microbiome, but greenhouse ornamental plants are commonly grown in soilless substrates.

Influence of Grafting on Rootstock Rhizosphere Microbiome Assembly in sp. 'Natal Brier'.

The root microbiome is vital in plant development and health and is highly influenced by crop cultural practices. Rose ( sp.) is the most popular cut flower worldwide.
