Rhizosphere and Riesling: Where do they connect?

Belowground Chemical Communication of Plants with other Organisms

Recently Nicole van Dam was interviewed by  Anne Krebiehl, a journalist who writes for the online journal “Whine Enthusiast”. In the resulting article (http://www.winemag.com/2017/11/13/dark-teeming-vineyard-underworld/) you can read how research on rhizosphere processes, microbial communities and root exudates connect with sustainable wine production. Cheers!
