Abstract Background Plant health is intimately influenced by the rhizosphere microbiome, a complex assembly of organisms that changes markedly across plant growth. However, most microbiome research has focused on fractions this particularly bacteria and fungi. It remains unknown how other microbial components, especially key predators—protists—are linked to health. Here, we investigated holistic including bacteria, eukaryotes (fungi protists), as well functional metabolism genes. We these...
Bacterial viruses, phages, play a key role in nutrient turnover and lysis of bacteria terrestrial ecosystems. While phages are abundant soils, their effects on plant pathogens rhizosphere bacterial communities poorly understood. Here, we used metagenomics direct experiments to causally test if differences phage could explain variation soil suppressiveness wilt disease outcomes by plant-pathogenic Ralstonia solanacearum bacterium. Specifically, tested two hypotheses: (1) that healthy plants...
The RIPENING-INHIBITOR (RIN) transcriptional factor is a key regulator governing fruit ripening. While RIN also affects other physiological processes, its potential roles in triggering interactions with the rhizosphere microbiome and plant health are unknown. Here we show that microbiome-mediated disease resistance via root exudation, leading to recruitment of microbiota suppress soil-borne, phytopathogenic Ralstonia solanacearum bacterium. Compared wild-type (WT) plant, mutants had...
Abstract The early diverged Magnoliaceae shows a historical temperate-tropical distribution among lineages indicating divergent evolution, yet which ecophysiological traits are phylogenetically conserved and whether these involved in correlated evolution remain unclear. Integrating phylogeny 20 of 27 species, from the four largest sections Magnoliaceae, we tested phylogenetic signals between trait pairs. Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC) water-conducting nutrient-use related was...
Bacteriophages, viruses that specifically target plant pathogenic bacteria, have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional agrochemicals. However, it remains unclear how phages should be applied achieve efficient pathogen biocontrol and what extent their efficacy is shaped by indirect interactions with the resident microbiota. Here, we tested if phage of
Abstract While the One Health framework has emphasized importance of soil microbiomes for plant and human health, one most diverse abundant groups—bacterial viruses, i.e. phages—has been mostly neglected. This perspective reviews significance phages health in rhizosphere explores their ecological evolutionary impacts on ecosystems. We first summarize our current understanding diversity roles terms nutrient cycling, top-down density regulation, pathogen suppression. then consider how drive...
Plant hormones have been recently shown to exert an indirect influence on the recruitment of plant-associated microbiomes. However, it remains unclear extent which disruption ethylene (ET) signaling pathway affects assembly and functioning plant-root In this study, Never-ripe tomato mutant (Nr) was profiled for differences compared wild type (control). Tomato plants were subjected root exudate profiling characterization bacterial fungal communities. Compared control, Nr revealed in...
Abstract While temperature has been shown to affect the survival and growth of bacteria their phage parasites, it is unclear if trade-offs between resistance other bacterial traits depend on temperature. Here, we experimentally compared evolution resistance–virulence underlying molecular mechanisms in phytopathogenic Ralstonia solanacearum bacterium at 25 °C 35 environments. We found that while phages reduced R. densities relatively more °C, no difference final level was observed treatments....
Abstract The distribution of the Critically Endangered tree Manglietia longipedunculata , which there are only 11 known wild individuals, is restricted to Nankunshan Nature Reserve in South China. species threatened with extinction because its small number individuals and impediments reproduction (a combination protogyny, a short period stigma receptivity, lack efficient pollinators). To reduce risk we conducted two conservation translocation trials: one augment sole extant population, other...
Plants use a variety of hydraulic strategies to adapt seasonal drought that differ by species and environmental conditions. The early-diverging Magnoliaceae family includes two closely related genera with contrasting leaf habits, Yulania (deciduous) Michelia (evergreen), which naturally inhabit temperate tropical regions, respectively. Here, we evaluate the strategy from both have been ex situ conserved in subtropical region determine how they respond novel cool–dry season climatic pattern....
While bacterial diversity is beneficial for the functioning of rhizosphere microbiomes, multi-species bioinoculants often fail to promote plant growth. One potential reason this that competition between different species inoculated consortia members creates conflicts their survival and functioning. To circumvent this, we used transposon insertion mutagenesis increase functional within Bacillus amyloliquefaciens tested if could improve growth promotion by assembling highly clonal but...
Many well-established sociological studies pertaining to the salubrious link between social relations and mental health have been published. In particular, numerous researchers address issue of how isolation lack family support ties can adversely affect one’s well-being. this paper, we seek identify explore relationships people who were clinically diagnosed with depression aspects their environment, namely circumstances in UK adult population. One hundred ten blogs mentioning as main...
