Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Three bacterial strains had antagonistic activity against B. sorokiniana.
- Intervention effect Bacterial inoculation reduced wheat disease severity by about 60%.
- Intervention effect Bacterial inoculation shifted rhizosphere microbiome structure and functional potential.
- Association Structural equation modeling identified inoculation as the primary driver of microbiome restructuring and disease suppression.
- Intervention effect Inoculation restored diversity of plant growth-promoting genes and biosynthetic gene clusters reduced by pathogen infection.
- Intervention effect Inoculation enriched functions associated with stress tolerance, nutrient metabolism, and secondary metabolite production.
- Association Under pathogen pressure, disease severity varied with bacterial community composition.
