A first insight into the structure and function of rhizosphere microbiota in Antarctic plants using shotgun metagenomic

Antarctic vascular plants such as Deschampsia antarctica (Da) could generate more suitable micro-environmental conditions for the establishment of other plants like Colobanthus quitensis (Cq). Although positive plant-plant interactions have been shown to We thank Instituto Antartico Chileno (INACH)...

Description
Summary:Antarctic vascular plants such as Deschampsia antarctica (Da) could generate more suitable micro-environmental conditions for the establishment of other plants like Colobanthus quitensis (Cq). Although positive plant-plant interactions have been shown to We thank Instituto Antartico Chileno (INACH) and the Chilean Navy for logistics and field support. All sampling was performed in accordance to international permits and authorizations given by INACH.
