Relationships between Wheat Development, Soil Properties, and Rhizosphere Mycobiota.

ABSTRACT: Wheat is a vital global food crop, yet it faces challenges in saline-alkali soils where Fusarium crown rot significantly impacts growth. Variations in wheat growth across regions are often attributed to uneven terrain. To explore these disparities, we examined well-growing and poorly growing wheat samples and their rhizosphere soils. Measurements included wheat height, root length, fresh weight, and Fusarium crown rot severity. Well-growing wheat exhibited greater height, root length, and fresh weight, with a lower Fusarium crown rot disease index compared to poorly growing wheat. Analysis of rhizosphere soil revealed higher alkalinity; lower nutrient levels; and elevated Na, K, and Ca levels in poorly growing wheat compared to well-growing wheat. High-throughput sequencing identified a hi
