Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect P. polysora infection increased operational taxonomic unit richness in maize leaves (722 vs. 572 OTUs) relative to non-infected leaves.
- Intervention effect P. polysora infection reduced community evenness of the foliar endophytes in maize leaves.
- Association Shannon diversity and Chao1 index values of the foliar endophytes were significantly reduced in non-infected states of maize.
- Intervention effect In low-susceptibility regions, infection reduced positive intertaxon associations by 42.6%.
- Intervention effect In medium-susceptibility regions, infection reduced positive intertaxon associations by 35.3%.
- Intervention effect Infection reduced microbial connectivity and complexity in maize leaves.
- Observation Networks of high-susceptibility regions retained greater stability under infection.
- Association Alternaria was positively associated with host resistance to P. polysora in maize (r = 0.37).
- Association Dioszegia was negatively correlated with resistance to P. polysora in maize (r = −0.36).
- Association Naganishia was negatively correlated with resistance to P. polysora in maize (r = −0.34).
