Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Rhizosphere microbial communities modulated Arabidopsis flowering time.
- Intervention effect Rhizosphere microorganisms delayed flowering.
- Intervention effect These rhizosphere microorganisms stimulated additional plant growth.
- Mechanism The authors attribute delayed flowering to microbial conversion of tryptophan to IAA and downregulation of flowering genes.
