The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Assembly and ecological function of the root microbiome across angiosperm plant species (2018, background): “This pattern is consistent with root bacteria recruited by a tolerant host plant acting as a plant pathogen in subsequent generations, but could also be driven by the depletion of mutualistic bacteria from the soil environment reducing subsequent host plant performance (46, 49).”
The Plant Microbiome and Native Plant Restoration: The Example of Native Mycorrhizal Fungi (2018, background): “AM fungal cultures can associate with and benefit the growth of a wide range of plant species that are desirable in restoration (Koziol and Bever 2015, Middleton et al.”
The seed microbiome: Origins, interactions, and impacts (2017, background): “Germinating seeds and seedlings are especially vulnerable to mortality from drought, granivores, and fungal seedborne and soil pathogens (Bever et al. 2015).”
