Microorganisms drive several processes needed for robust plant growth and health. Harnessing microbial functions is thus key to productive sustainable food production. Molecular methods have led a greater understanding of the soil microbiome composition. However, translating species or gene composition into functionality remains challenge. Community ecology concepts such as biodiversity–ecosystem functioning framework may help predict assembly function plant-associated microbiomes. Higher...
The use of genetically modified or native microorganisms and plants to degrade remove pollutants has emerged as a powerful technology for in situ remediation. An understanding the genetic basis mechanisms how biodegrade they interact with environment is important successful implementation this technology. Recent studies have demonstrated that microbes transgenic produce pesticide-degradaing enzymes can mineralize different groups pesticides their metabolites greater efficiency. This review...
Abstract Semi‐arid grasslands on the Mongolian Plateau are expected to experience high inputs of anthropogenic reactive nitrogen in this century. It remains unclear, however, how soil organisms and nutrient cycling directly affected by N enrichment (i.e., without mediation plant input soil) vs. indirectly via changes plant‐related soils resulting from enrichment. To test direct indirect effects (bacteria, fungi nematodes) their associated C mineralization, 2010, we designated two subplots...
The continuous cropping (CC) of major agricultural, horticultural, and industrial crops is an established practice worldwide, though it has significant soil health-related concerns. However, a combined review the effects CC on health indicators, in particular omics ones, remains missing. may negatively impact multiple biotic abiotic indicators health, fertility, crop yield. It could potentially alter which include but are not limited to composition, abundance, diversity, functioning micro-...
The phyllosphere supports a tremendous diversity of microbes and other organisms. However, little is known about the colonization survival pathogenic beneficial bacteria alone or together in across whole plant life-cycle under herbivory, which hinders our ability to understand role on performance. We addressed these questions experiments using four genetically biogeographically diverse accessions Arabidopsis thaliana, three ecologically important bacterial strains (Pseudomonas syringae...
Abstract Background Rhizodeposits regulate rhizosphere interactions, processes, nutrient and energy flow, plant-microbe communication thus play a vital role in maintaining soil plant health. However, it remains unclear whether how alteration belowground carbon allocation chemodiversity of rhizodeposits influences microbiome functioning the ecosystems. To address this research gap, we investigated relationship with biodiversity during peanut ( Arachis hypogaea ) continuous mono-cropping....
