Abstract:PurposeOur aim was to characterize the fungal root and rhizosphere microbiomes of genetically diverse Brassica napus lines in a temporally-intensive, multi-site field study to assess the relative contributions of plant genetics, growth stage and environmental conditions to microbiome composition and to identify fungi that were associated with yield performance. MethodsSixteen B. napus lines were grown across three sites in the Canadian Prairies. Sixteen lines were sampled weekly for ten weeks at one site in 20… Show more
