ABSTRACT Background Microbial endophytes can be beneficial to host plants, improving resistance against biotic and abiotic stress. While fungal have been well characterised in temperate grasses, knowledge about of tropical grasses is limited. Aims We investigated the diversity associated with Brachiaria, a grass genus native Africa source candidate for developing as inoculants cultivated Brachiaria. Methods Fungi were isolated from asymptomatic tillers nine Brachiaria species. Morphological...
We report a preliminary survey of the endophytic bacterial microbiota seed from wild carrot (Daucus carota) using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria were most abundant phyla detected, while Bacillus, Massilia, Paenibacillus, Pantoea, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Sphingomonas, Xanthomonas genera.
Here, we report a 29-Mb draft genome sequence of strain 72-15.1 Simplicillium aogashimaense (Cordycipitaceae, Hypocreales). Strain was unique fungal isolate obtained from asymptomatic tillers the tropical grass Brachiaria brizantha .
Agriculture is fundamental for food production, and microbiomes support agriculture through multiple essential ecosystem services. Despite the importance of individual (i.e., niche specific) agricultural microbiomes, microbiome interactions across niches are not well-understood. To observe linkages between nearby approaches (16S, 18S, ITS) were used to inspect a broad coverage microbiomes. Here we examined responses 3 different nitrogen treatments (0, 150, 300 kg/ha/yr) in soil tracked...
Adventitious roots in canopy soils associated with silver beech (Nothofagus menziesii Hook.f. (Nothofagaceae)) form ectomycorrhizal associations. We investigated the extent to which communities contribute overall diversity of fungi beech. Hyphal ingrowth bags were buried for 12 months and terrestrial five trees at one site. used amplicon sequencing nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 2 region (ITS2) assess both non-ectomycorrhizal OTUs hyphal bags. There was a significant...
Adventitious roots in canopy soils associated with silver beech ( Lophozonia menziesii (Hook.f.) Heenan & Smissen (Nothofagaceae)) form ectomycorrhizal associations. We used amplicon sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer 2 region to compare diversity fungal species and terrestrial sites. The study data are archived as an NCBI BioProject (accession PRJNA421209), raw DNA sequence reads available from Sequence Read Archive SRA637723 Community composition fungi was significantly...
