Figure 1. Fungal DGGE profiles showing the fungal community structure in the rhizosphere of maize plants grown in Haplic Chernozem (Rh-HC) and in the gut of WCR larvae feeding on maize roots grown in Haplic Chernozem (G-HC), in Haplic Luvisol (G-HL) and in Eutric Vertisol (G-EV).

Arrows indicate dominant fungal populations identified by sequencing (Table 1). Band a: Candida sake; band c: Fusarium sp.; band d: Gibberella zeae; band e: Verticillium dahliae.
