Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Microbiome compositional structure differed significantly across sieving fractions, host genotypes and compartments (wart versus tare soil).
- Observation Wart microbiomes were enriched in Pseudomonas trivialis, a taxon potentially involved in pathogen-specific suppression.
- Observation Tare soils harbored transitional microbiomes shaped by host proximity and enriched with Bacillus species.
- Observation Descheduled soils under long-term nonhost crop rotations harbored broad-spectrum biocontrol agents.
- Observation Functional prediction suggested enrichment of xenobiotic degradation and chitin metabolism pathways in diseased soils.
- Observation Network analysis indicated fragile yet densely connected communities in diseased soils versus modular and stable structures in descheduled systems.
