Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in T. cacao from Panama
This study aimed to: (1) characterize AMF communities associated within cacao roots, and (2) evaluate how these communities are shaped by scion and rootstock genotypes, root traits, soil properties, and presence of conspecific or heterospecific neighbouring trees.These findings highlight the role of host and environmental variables in AMF composition, informing strategies for sustainable cacao cultivation through optimized plant-fungal interactions.
