Changes in the core endophytic mycobiome of carrot taproots in response to crop management and genotype

Abstract Fungal endophytes can influence production and post-harvest challenges in carrot, though the identity of these microbes as well as factors affecting their composition have not yet been determined, which prevents growers from managing these organisms to improve crop performance. Consequently...
