Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: Rootstock genotype shaped grapevine physiology and associated microbial communities, with the strongest compositional shifts consistently observed in the phyllosphere across contrasting growing seasons. Rootstocks contribute to grapevine adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses, including drought, and influence associated microbial communities relevant to nutrient dynamics and stress resilience....
