  "summary": "Engineering bioenergy crops for enhanced biomass digestibility and high-value co-products is a promising approach to sustainable biofuel production. However, the impact of these engineered crops on the belowground microbiome remains poorly understood. In this study, we characterized the composition and functional responses of the belowground microbiome associated with transgenic sorghum lines:…",
