Polyploidy and plant-fungus symbiosis: evidence of cytotype-specific microbiomes in the halophyte Salicornia (Amaranthaceae)
D. Reis Goncalves, R. Pena, D. Albach
This study examines whether polyploidy in Salicornia species affects their root-associated fungal communities and anatomical traits, finding differences in fungal diversity and root structure between diploid and tetraploid cytotypes.
