For example, genotype resistance was correlated (R2 = 19%) with root fungal community composition. Further, several key microbes, showing a high relative abundance, heritability, connectedness with other <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/microbes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>microbes</span></a>, and correlation with plant resistance, were identified."</p><p><a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40793-025-00755-w" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">link.springer.com/article/10.1</span><span class="invisible">186/s40793-025-00755-w</span></a></p><p>First authored by my former colleage at FiBL, Valentin Gfeller, and co-authored by my PhD supervisor Pierre Hohmann <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.green/@plant_holobiont" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>plant_holobiont</span></a></span></p><p>congrats! </p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Breeding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Breeding</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Microbiome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Microbiome</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Holobiont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Holobiont</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PlantMicrobiome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlantMicrobiome</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Phyotpathology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Phyotpathology</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PlantMicrobiomeInteraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlantMicrobiomeInteraction</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Roots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Roots</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Root" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Root</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/benediktspapersoftheweek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>benediktspapersoftheweek</span></a></p>
