Taxonomic Restructuring of Rhizosphere Guilds is Driven By Agricultural Management and Scion Genotype in Apple.

Abstract excerpt

Rhizosphere microbiomes are critical for agricultural health, but how they are interactively shaped by management and host genetics in perennial systems remains largely unknown. Using an apple orchard system, we show that long-term agricultural management does not alter soil biodiversity but also selects for fundamentally opposing microbial life strategies. Our findings showed that organic management selects...
