Abstract:Microbes colonizing each niche of terrestrial plants are indispensable for maintaining crop health. Although corn stalk rot (CSR) is a severe disease infecting maize (Zea mays) worldwide, the mechanisms underlying host–microbe interactions across vertical niches in maize plants, which exhibit heterogeneous CSR resistance, remain largely uncharacterized. Here, we investigated the microbial communities associated with CSR-resistant and -susceptible maize cultivars using multi-omics analysis coupled with experime… Show more
