Root microbiome, exudates & mycorrhizal interfaces

Map Cannabis root exudates, rhizosphere and endosphere microbial communities, and arbuscular-mycorrhizal interfaces as dynamic associations shaped by genotype, substrate, environment, inoculum, and management rather than as guaranteed beneficial effects.
