Host genetic variation is associated with root-associated microbiome assembly and resistance to Fusarium oxysporum in tobacco

Abstract Plant–microbe interactions are essential for plant health, yet the genetic basis of host control over root-associated microbiome assembly in Nicotiana tabacum remains unclear. We integrated whole-genome resequencing, amplicon sequencing, and metabolomics across 50 tobacco cultivars, together with microbial gen...
