Fungal community assembly in drought-stressed sorghum shows stochasticity, selection, and universal ecological dynamics

Fungal community assembly on crop plants is thought to be driven by deterministic selection exerted by the host. Here Gao et al. use a sorghum system to show that stochastic forces act on fungal community assembly in leaves and roots early in host development and when sorghum is drought stressed.
