Fig. 9: A model disentangling the microbial N-cycling functions in the rhizosphere microbiome assembly of wild and domesticated rice accessions.

During rice domestication, a higher abundance of nitrogen-fixing genes in the rhizosphere of wild rice, while domesticated rice exhibited an increased number of genes associated with nitrous oxide (N2O) production and reduction in the rhizosphere of domesticated rice.
