The paper examines microbiome shifts in soybean plants infected with Fusarium in field conditions, identifying field-specific microbial responses and potential biocontrol agents.

The paper predicts next-season potato vigor based on seed tuber microbiome composition using a Random Forest model trained on microbiome and crop development data.

This study shows that seed tuber microbiomes are influenced by their production field and genotype, and these effects persist through storage and into the next generation, without direct vertical inheritance of specific microbes.
