Abstract excerpt
Plant genotype plays a critical role in shaping root-associated microbiota and in modulating plant tolerance to soilborne diseases such as Fusarium root rot (FRR). In this study, we investigated how four wheat (Triticum aestivum) varieties, with differing tolerance to FRR, influence the composition and structure of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere and root endosphere. In the current study evaluated root...
