Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Pythium aphanidermatum root inoculation significantly affected lettuce biomass compared with controls.
- Association Bacterial alpha diversity and evenness were higher in inoculated roots than in non-inoculated controls.
- Association Fungal alpha diversity and evenness were higher in inoculated roots than in non-inoculated controls.
- Observation Bacterial communities in lettuce roots showed compositional shifts regardless of disease severity.
- Observation Fungal communities in lettuce roots showed dramatic reorganization of network structure.
- Association Pseudomonas and Olpidium were consistently associated with Pythium-inoculated lettuce roots.
