Abstract

Several processes which occur in the rhizosphere make it a vital region in plant development. However, studies that examine the rhizosphere microbiome and their functional potentials remain scarce. Shotgun metagenomics was employed here to evaluate the functional potentials of the maize rhizosphere microbiome of farms in two South African provinces.
