Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Soil microbiome selection produced transient differences in aphid performance.
- Intervention effect Microbiome selection did not affect Spodoptera exigua caterpillar growth.
- Intervention effect Aphid population growth rate was significantly lower on plants selected for low insect performance in four of nine generations.
- Intervention effect Aphid abundance was reduced by up to 20% on plants with rhizospheres selected for low insect performance.
- Observation Minor shifts in fungal and bacterial relative abundance occurred in insect-suppressive communities.
- Intervention effect Aphid feeding lowered rhizosphere community complexity and connectivity and reduced structurally important taxa relative to uninfested controls.
- Intervention effect Aphid feeding resulted in fewer structurally important rhizosphere taxa than in uninfested controls.
