This study shows that there is a complex and close interaction between plants and the root microbiota in nutrient utilization. Environmental nutrient conditions and plant nutrient-related genes jointly regulate the composition and assembly of the root microbiota, while the root microbiota significantly affects the plant's nutrient utilization efficiency by improving nutrient availability and regulating plant hormones.
