Wheat is a major staple crop grown across the globe. Fusarium crown rot (FCR) of wheat, caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, is a destructive soil-borne disease that lacks effective sustainable control measures. Here, we assembled a cross-kingdom synthetic microbial community (SMC) comprising Tr...
A cross-kingdom synthetic community (SSC) derived from wild soybean rhizosphere soil was constructed and inoculated onto cultivated soybeans suffering from continuous cropping obstacles. Root exudates from cultivated soybeans were collected before and after inoculation with the SSC via a hydropon...
Background
Wheat crown rot (WCR) caused by Fusarium spp. lacks durable, sustainable control. Engineering the rhizosphere with defined synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) offers a route to combined disease suppression and growth promotion. We aimed to build a cross-kingdom SynCom and e...
