Temporal and Cultivar-Specific Effects on Potato Root and Soil Fungal Diversity
The soil fungal community plays an important role in determining plant growth and health. In this study, we investigated the fungal diversity and community composition in the roots and soil of 21 potato (<i>Solanum tuberosum</i> L.) cultivars using high-throughput sequencing at three dif...

In soil and roots, the fungal richness and relative abundance of pathogens and saprotrophs were mainly affected by sampling time. While sampling time affected fungal composition in soil, root fungal communities were also significantly affected by cultivar. The cultivar had the strongest effect on diversity of pathogens and abundance of particular pathogen species.

The soil fungal community plays an important role in determining plant growth and health.

In soil and roots, the fungal richness and relative abundance of pathogens and saprotrophs were mainly affected by sampling time.

The cultivar had the strongest effect on diversity of pathogens and abundance of particular pathogen species. Our results demonstrate changes in soil and root fungal communities of potato over the growing season, as well as highlighting the importance of potato cultivar on root fungal communities and abundance of pathogens. |
