The plant organs and rhizosphere determine the common bean mycobiome.

ABSTRACT: The plant microbiota diversity is often underestimated when approaches developed mainly for the identification of cultivable microorganisms are used. High-throughput sequencing allows a deeper understanding of the microbial diversity associated with plants. The amplification of ITS1 was used to analyze fungal diversity in several plant organs and rhizosphere of three common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) varieties grown in a greenhouse. The fungal diversity diverged between those plant organs and the rhizosphere, with the highest found in the rhizosphere and the lowest in the stem. In each organ different numbers of genus, OTUs were identified, in a total of 283 OTUs evenly distributed among the varieties. In the co-occurrence network, a larger number of positive interactions were found in the
