Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Bacterial community structures differed among cultivars.
- Observation Fungal community structures differed among cultivars.
- Association Rhizosphere metabolites explained 19.87% of bacterial community composition variation.
- Association Rhizosphere metabolites explained 21.63% of fungal community composition variation.
- Observation Microbial assembly across cultivars was predominantly deterministic.
- Association Rhizosphere metabolite profiles were strongly correlated with microbial community structure.
- Observation Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi made up about 11% of fungi in minimally fertilized pot systems.
- Observation Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi were nearly absent in conventionally managed plantations.
- Mechanism The authors concluded that tea cultivar genotype shapes rhizosphere microbiome assembly through metabolic differentiation.
- Recommendation The authors propose incorporating microbiome considerations into tea breeding and cultivar-specific management.
