Plants live in association with diverse microorganisms, collectively called the microbiome. These microbes either inside (endosphere) or outside (episphere) of plant tissues. Microbes play important roles ecology and physiology plants. Significant progress has been made revealing structure dynamics microbiome last few years. Various factors related to host, as well environment influence community composition diversity This review aimed provide a general account (host, microbe environment)...
There has been increasing attention toward the influence of biofertilizers on composition microbial communities associated with crop plants. We investigated impact Azospirillum sp. B510, a bacterial strain nitrogen-fixing ability, structure and fungal within rice plant rhizospheres by amplicon sequencing at two sampling stages (the vegetative harvest rice). Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) demonstrated significant community shift in microbiome when plants were inoculated B510 stage,...
Increasing evidence suggests that the plant rhizosphere may recruit beneficial microbes to suppress soil-borne pathogens, but microbiome assembly due foliar pathogen infection and ecological mechanisms govern functions in diseased host are not fully understood. To provide a comprehensive view of rice-associated microbiome, we compared bacterial fungal communities healthy rice those infected with Magnaporthe oryzae, causal agent blast disease. We found soil had greater diversity than...
Nature farming is a system that entails cultivating crops without using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The present study investigated the bacterial fungal communities in rhizosphere of soybean grown conventional nature soils wild-type non-nodulating mutant soybean. effect soil fumigant was also analyzed to reveal its perturbation microbial subsequent effects on growth Overall, exhibited better index compared especially farming. Nodulation arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi colonization...
Understanding the community composition and diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in an agricultural ecosystem is important for exploiting their potential sustainable crop production. In this study, we described genetic structure indigenous AMF rain-fed rice cultivars across six different regions Ghana. The morphological molecular analyses revealed a total 15 genera isolated from roots. Rhizophagus Glomus were observed to be predominant all except Ashanti region, which was...
Abstract Background Climate change is expected to affect plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs, i.e., the effects of a plant on growth another or community grown in same soil via changes abiotic and biotic properties), influencing dynamics and, through this, ecosystem functioning. However, our knowledge climate magnitude direction PSFs remains limited, with considerable variability between studies. We quantified associated common factors, specifically drought warming, their corresponding ambient...
Nature farming, a sustainable agricultural method which avoids agrochemicals and untreated organic amendments, promotes both productivity ecological conservation. This system may foster unique plant-microbiota interactions for growth fitness; however, the microbiota of nature-farmed plants remains largely unexplored. Second, root nodule symbiosis (RNS) is crucial nitrogen fixation in legumes; its broader impact on rhizosphere assembly not well understood. study examined dynamics between...
A nature farming system is an ecological practice that entails cultivating crops without using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. To understand the diversity functions of root microbiomes associated with systems, we compared microbial community rice under conditions those conventional conditions. High-throughput amplicon analysis demonstrated a higher abundance greater microbiome unfertilized than The application reduced some beneficial taxa important for plant growth health. Subsequently,...
To understand the distribution of cultivable fungal community in plant tissues from nature farming tomato plants, we sampled plants seven different cultivars and recovered 1742 isolates 1895 stem three sites Japan. Overall, isolation frequency was low (3–13%) colonization frequencies did not vary significantly as a function cultivar. The fungi were divided into 29 unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs) with 97% ITS gene sequence identity, majority which belong to Ascomycota (99.3%)....
We investigated the root microbiomes of rice sampled from six major rice-producing regions in Ghana using Illumina MiSeq high-throughput amplicon sequencing analysis. The result showed that both bacterial and fungal community compositions were significantly varied across regions. Bacterial communities shaped predominantly by biotic factors, including diversity abundance. In contrast, influenced abiotic factors such as soil nitrate, total carbon pH. A negative correlation between abundance...
In a natural ecosystem, endophytic fungi in the internal tissues of plants help to improve growth host and decrease negative effects biotic abiotic stresses without having adverse effects. Japan, Vicia villosa (hairy vetch), legume plant with high capacity fix nitrogen, is usually used as cover crop before soybeans enhance fertility structure soil. This study aimed isolate associated different hairy vetch evaluate their potential for growth-promoting biocontrol plants. Thirty-three fungal...
Seed-borne bacteria that impair germination and emergence of seedlings reduce yield quality cucurbits are major concerns for cucurbit production throughout the world.The present investigation has been carried out to detect from seeds eight viz.cucumber, bottle gourd, wax sweet ridge bitter sponge gourd snake collected different shops Mymensingh town during July November 2011.Seed samples were tested seed-borne by nutrient agar plate method, cassette holder liquid assay method.Only one...
Wheat is the second-largest cereal crop in Bangladesh and plays an essential role ensuring country's food security. Since 2016, there has been a severe epidemic of wheat blast disease Bangladesh. This research investigated nutritional context epidemics by analyzing infected plants allied soils. We collected blast-infected soil samples from six different severely regions Meherpur district situated western part The incidence severity sampling fields ranged 84.78 - 95.11% 82.06-92.19%,...
