The role of the rhizosphere microbiome in the resistance to soil-borne pathogens and nutrient uptake of strawberry cultivars under field conditions
By characterizing the bacterial and archaeal community (via 16S rRNA sequencing) associated with bulk and rhizosphere soil of sixteen strawberry cultivars in two controlled field studies, we explored the relationships between the soil microbiome and plant resistance to two soil borne fungal pathogens (Verticillium dahliae and Macrophomina phaseolina).
