Extraction and 16S rRNA Sequence Analysis of Microbiomes Associated with Rice Roots
[Abstract] Plant roots associate with a wide diversity of bacteria and archaea across the root-soil spectrum. The rhizosphere microbiota, the communities of microbes in the soil adjacent to the root, can contain up to 10 billion bacterial cells per gram of soil (Raynaud and Nunan, 2014) and can play important roles for the fitness of the host plant. Subsets ...

[Abstract] SIET (scanning ion-electrode technique) is a new technique to study the flow rate of the ions and molecules in real time in living biomaterials by using microelectrodes and microsensor. This technique allows non-invasive, simultaneous measurement of fluxes of specific ions at the surface of an intact plant. It has high temporal and spatial ...
