Tunicate maize ( Zea mays var. tunicata A. St. Hil) is a landrace that constitutes fundamental aspect of the socio-cultural identity Ixtenco, Tlaxcala (Mexico) and represents an exotic phenotype whose kernels are enclosed in leaflike glumes. Despite multiple studies conducted worldwide on plant growth-promoting-rhizobacteria (PGPR) commercial varieties grown under monoculture systems, very little known about bacteria inhabiting native landraces agroecosystems, but for tunicate such knowledge...
Abstract Fitness and productivity of most terrestrial plants depend on early associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi mutualistic bacteria. Plants select the microbial communities cohabiting their roots mycorrhizosphere, attracting also all types predators. Naked amoebae are among voracious predators inflicting significant changes in soils bacterial fungal populations. We evaluated how Zea mays or without Rhizophagus intraradices mycorrhizosphere (AMF) influence trophic groups amoebae,...
