In the context of climate change in the Mediterranean, natural root-microorganism associations have an impact on crop resilience and productivity. Utilizing these interactions can serve as innovative, cost-effective, and sustainable crop adaptation strategies.
In the context of the climate change scenario in the Mediterranean, natural root-microorganism associations have an impact on the resilience and productivity of crops, and the exploitation of these interactions represents innovative, cost-effective and sustainable crop adaptation strategies. An open field experiment with two commercial Italian tomato cultivars was performed. The soil bacterial communities associated with the two commercial Italian tomato genotypes were characterized alongside their physiological and molecular responses under well-watered and moderate water deficit (100% and 75% of crop evapotranspiration) treatments. The two genotypes showed contrasting responses to water deficit, primarily through diverse rhizosphere microbiota recruitment under the two irrigation treatments.
