AbstractBackground:One of the biggest developments of wheat domestication was the development of semi-dwarf cultivars that respond well to fertilisers and produce higher yields without lodging. Consequently, this change has also impacted the wheat microbiome, often resulting in reduced selection of taxa and a loss of network complexity in the rhizospheres of semi-dwarf cultivars.
