Using micro-CT and MRI scans to […]

WFS News: Geology and climate influence rhizobiome composition of the phenotypically diverse tropical tree Tabebuia heterophylla

@WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Geology and climate influence rhizobiome composition of the phenotypically diverse tropical tree Tabebuia heterophylla Plant-associated microbial communities have diverse phenotypic effects on their hosts that are only beginning to be revealed. We hypothesized that morpho-physiological variations in the tropical tree Tabebuia heterophylla, observed on different geological substrates, arise in part […]
