Importance:
In this study, we revealed that the variation in rhizosphere and root endosphere microbial assemblage between host plant ecotypes contribute to their differential abilities to withstand cadmium (Cd) stressors. Furthermore, our study found that phenolic compounds, such as benzenoids and flavonoids, could function as both essential carbon sources and semiochemicals, thereby contributing to the assemblage of rhizosphere microbiome to resist Cd stress. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanisms that drive the differential assemblage of rhizosphere and root endosphere microbiomes to enhance plant growth under abiotic stress.
