Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Soil fungal communities differed between transgenic and wild-type sugarcane.
- Observation More OTUs were enriched in the transgenic root-related area than in the wild-type root-related area.
- Observation More saprotrophs were enriched in the transgenic root-related area.
- Mechanism The authors interpret host genotype as strengthening plant-fungi interaction and enhancing beneficial fungal function near transgenic sugarcane roots.
