Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Bacterial root communities in Oryza showed significant phylosymbiosis with their host, unlike fungi
- Association Bacterial diversity in Oryza root microbiota decreased over evolutionary time
- Association Phylogenetic clustering of Oryza root bacteria increased over evolutionary time
- Association Deterministic and stochastic processes co-drove bacteria assembly in the Oryza root microbiome
- Association Stochastic processes strongly drove fungi assembly in the Oryza root microbiome
- Association Potentially functional root bacteria of Oryza were differentially enriched across polyploidization events
- Association Co-speciating bacteria better predicted grain weight in Oryza than fungi
- Association Core species made a major contribution to the prediction of grain weight in Oryza
- Intervention effect A synthetic community derived from the wild rice core microbiome strongly promoted rice growth
- Intervention effect Removal of key members markedly reduced the rice growth promotion by the SynCom
