Functional Manipulation of Root Endophyte Populations for Feedstock Improvement- Final Report
- Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC (United States)
This study provides a systemic analysis of the influence of the abiotic environment on the assembly of plant microbiomes. We show that under controlled conditions, community assembly cues are robust and predictable across multiple abiotic gradients. Plant colonization patterns are largely driven by phylogeny, and colonization phenotypes are ubiquitous across different specimens of the same phylogenetic class. Subsets of the full synthetic community were shown to induce different root morphologies, and the morphology observed with the full community is an outcome of epistasis between two functional guilds.
