Disease resistance trials with synthetic communities and agronomic trait studies. A Experimental program to functionally validate synthetic microbiota infiltrating susceptible cotton genotypes. B Biostimulatory effects of synthetic communities on agronomic traits in susceptible cotton genotypes. Plant height (cm), stem thickness (mm), root fresh weight (g), and stem fresh weight (g) (ANOVA, * indicates P < 0.05; ** indicates P < 0.001). Asterisks indicate significantly longer inoculation-promoting effects. Boxes indicate interquartile ranges (75% to 25% of data, n = 8), and median values are shown as a line in the box
