Description

Capparotto and eleven co-authors show that plant genes and root microbes shape how lettuce responds to soil inoculum under shortage of phosphate, in a study from twenty twenty-six. Helpful fungi and bacteria can cut the need for fertilizer. One hundred twenty-eight lettuce varieties get fungal and bacterial treatment. Genome scans and microbe surveys run side by side with trait measures.

Plant genes sway the responses to the microbes strongly. Set genome regions track shifts in leaf phosphate and in shoot growth. Shifts in the mix of microbes go with the shifts in traits. Forty-four microbial variants link to traits of use. Six bacterial strains check out in tests for effects on phosphate and growth.
