Bioactive diterpenoids impact the composition of the root-associated microbiome in maize (Zea mays)

Abstract Plants deploy both primary and species-specific, specialized metabolites to communicate with other organisms and adapt to environmental challenges, including interactions with soil-dwelling microbial communities. However, the role of specialized metabolites in modulating plant-microbiome in...
