Plant adaptations to nutritional scarcity are informed by plant microbiomes playing fundamental roles in shaping the host responses to biotic and abiotic stresses and modulating plant phenotypic plasticity. These microorganisms can form complex and stable associations that determine plant speciation, geographic distribution patterns, and diversity to a much stronger degree than previously acknowledged. Researchers at the State University of Campinas's Institute of Biology (IB-UNICAMP) in Sao Paulo state identified 522 genomes of archaea and bacteria associated with the roots and soil of two plant species native to the Brazilian montane savanna ecoregion known as campos rupestres ("rocky meadows") that are enriched in genes involved in organic compound intake, and phosphorus and nitrogen turnover.
