Alhagi sparsifolia Harbors a Different Root-Associated Mycobiome during Different Development Stages

Microorganisms, 2022
The mycobiome in the rhizosphere and within the roots benefits the nutrition and function of host plants. However, compared with the bacterial community, root-associated mycobiomes of desert plants and the forces that drive their assemblage are limited ...
