Linking microbial community composition of three rootstock genotypes to apple replant disease susceptibility

Abstract Background Apple replant disease (ARD) is a worldwide issue of complex biotic origin. The exact aetiology has yet to be fully elucidated and environmentally friendly and economically feasible countermeasures are sparse. The breeding of tolerant apple rootstock genotypes...

Fragmented Microbial Networks and Moraxella-Driven Airway Clustering Characterize Preschool Wheezers Across the Gut – Airways Axis

Abstract Early-life wheezing in children has been associated with microbial alterations along the gut-airway axis, yet studies simultaneously investigating bacterial communities in both compartments remain scarce. The aim of this cross-sectional exploratory pilot study ( n = 25)...
