Analysis demonstrates how heat stress shapes fungal communities in tomato roots, indicating implications for crop productivity.

Distinct soil and root compartments assemble different fungal communities, highlighting the importance of environmental conditions.
The rhizosphere fraction shows greater diversity and abundance compared to the more specialized taxa in the root-associated fraction.
Using the TGRooZ system allows for accurate analyses of plant-microbiome responses to heat stress in conditions mimicking the field.
Results suggest leveraging beneficial microbes could enhance crop productivity under climate-induced heat stress.

Catarecha et al. (2025) studied this question.
