Rhizobiome community and functioning support plant growth during wheat maturation independent of diversified rotation systems.
Article in Environmental microbiome, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAs an important driver of plant performance, the rhizobiome is altered throughout plant maturation and agricultural management, such as diversified crop rotation systems. However, a comprehensive understanding of the temporal changes in the rhizobiome (bacteria, fungi, and protists) community composition and functioning during plant maturation remains little known, especially in response to different rotation systems.
resultsWe collected rhizobiome samples in four developmental stages of wheat across four different rotation systems in a long-term field experiment. Across rotation systems, wheat maturation increased bacterial and fungal diversity, and changed their community compositions, while protist communities remained unaffected. Subsequently, we validated the functioning of rhizobiomes specific to distinct rotation systems and wheat developmental stages in a greenhouse experiment. The rhizobiome in the jointing stage enhanced maize height, which was best explained by a higher relative abundance of rhizobiome predators (predominantly protists) irrespective of rotation systems. We also found a positive correlation of rhizobiome predators with the maize shoot/root biomass ratio in our greenhouse experiment, suggesting that rhizobiome predators mobilize nutrients to favour plant shoot growth.
conclusionsWe conclude that a tight plant-rhizobiome feedback loop is, independent of agricultural management, internally fostered by rhizobiome predators and wheat maturation. Our results call for studies that aim to elucidate the potential drivers underlying plant growth-induced changes in the rhizobiome to develop targeted manipulations of plant growth promoting rhizobiomes.
