Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Bacterial alpha diversity in the Arabidopsis rhizosphere was driven largely by phenology.
- Observation Fungal alpha diversity in the Arabidopsis rhizosphere was more sensitive to injury type.
- Observation PCA showed clear treatment-specific separations of rhizosphere communities within each stage of Arabidopsis.
- Intervention effect Herbivory increased rhizosphere Streptomyces, Sphingomonas and Acinetobacter in Arabidopsis.
- Observation Mechanical injury produced distinct stage-dependent rhizosphere bacterial signatures including Dyella and Pseudolabrys in Arabidopsis.
- Observation Fungal responses in the Arabidopsis rhizosphere were stage contingent, with fermentative yeasts before flowering.
- Association Herbivory enhanced bacteria–fungi connectivity in the Arabidopsis rhizosphere co-occurrence network.
- Observation Co-occurrence networks under both injuries in Arabidopsis rhizosphere showed more positive correlations.
- Association Herbivory elevated inferred chemotrophy, fermentation and nitrate reduction in the Arabidopsis rhizosphere.
- Association Mechanical injury reduced inferred chemotrophy, saprotroph abundance and nitrate-reducing functions in the Arabidopsis rhizosphere.
