Trichoderma afroharzianum behaves differently in interaction with pea plants under varying iron availability
Key Points
The study aims to understand how the interaction of Trichoderma afroharzianum with pea plants changes under different levels of iron availability.
Investigated the effects of varying iron levels on the interaction between Trichoderma afroharzianum and pea plants.
Measured changes in bacterial enrichment and fungal responses to iron availability.
Found that T22's effects depended on iron availability, with changes in bacterial populations.
Observed that fungal taxa remained largely unaffected by variations in iron levels.
Abstract
These findings indicate that T22 acts in a context-dependent manner, with bacterial enrichment varying with Fe availability, while fungal taxa were largely unaffected.
