The study looked at how different types of soybean plants affect the tiny organisms living around their roots. By studying three different soybean genotypes, researchers found that each type of plant has its own unique community of microbes in the soil around its roots. These microbes help the plants grow and stay healthy. The study also showed that the relationships between different types of microbes varied depending on the soybean genotype. This means that the type of soybean plant you grow can influence the kinds of helpful microbes that live in the soil around its roots. This information could help scientists develop better ways to help soybean plants grow in the future.
