Project description:Fungal antagonism shapes microbial community structure and provides an ecological basis for biological control. Although mycoviruses have been implicated in fungal antagonism, their effects are generally attributed to indirect modulation of resident host physiology.
Project description:RNASeq of roots from two genotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana plants, Col-0 and myb36-2 grown axenically or with a 41 member bacterial Synthetic Community (SynCom) to explore the interaction between the root diffusion barriers and the root microbiome.
