Article Abstract

In order to evaluate the potential risk of planting transgenic corn on soil nitrogen-fixing microorganisms, in 2015, rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil samples were collected at the jointing stage, tassel stage, milky stage, and ripening stage, and the effects of transgenic maize with the and genes on the abundance and diversity of soil nitrogen-fixing bacteria were studied by real-time quantitative PCR and T-RFLP. The results showed that the copy number of the diazotrophic gene in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil of transgenic maize with the and genes (C0030.3.5) and its parental maize (DBN318) showed a trend where it first increased and then decrease with the growth stages, ranging between 2.99×10 and 7.02×10 copies·g. The abundance of the diazotrophic gene in the rhizosphere soil and non-rhizosphere soil gene showed no significant difference between TM and PM in the same growth stage (>0.05). The correlation analysis showed that the abundance of the diazotrophic gene was positively correlated with the content of organic matter, but negatively correlated with water content. T-RFLP analysis yielded 14 T-RFs of different lengths, and 43-bp and 155-bp fragments were the dominant population. The community composition of nitrogen-fixing bacteria was the same as that of TM and PM in the rhizosphere soil and non-rhizosphere soil, and there was no significant difference between the TM and PM populations in the same growth period (>0.05). The Shannon index and Evenness index of the diazotrophic gene showed a trend where they first increased and then decreased with the growth period, and there was no significant difference in the Shannon index and Evenness index in the same growth stage between the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil samples. Principal component analysis(PCA) indicated that the composition of nitrogen-fixing bacteria was not different between TM and PM. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that soil ammonium, nitrogen, and pH were significantly correlated with composition of nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

The plant microbiome plays a role in pathogen defense, but its role in different resistant varieties and ecological niches remains unclear. This study used 16S rRNA and ITS sequencing to investigate microbial communities and interactions in disease-resistant (PT) and susceptible (Bourbon) coffee varieties of five ecological niches: leaves, fruits, roots, rhizosphere soil, and non-rhizosphere soil. We found that the microbial communities differed significantly between the two varieties.

The ecological significance of rhizosphere microbiomes in forest ecosystems is increasingly recognized. This study provides comparative analysis of microbial communities in - mixed forests versus monoculture systems. Mixed stands exhibited superior rhizosphere nutrient conditions and supported more diverse microbial populations, particularly with respect to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Basidiomycota.

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlations between the morphology and microbial community structure of Medicago ruthenica and soil environmental factors. Soil samples were collected from M. ruthenica and from rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils under typical grasslands (C1), desertified grasslands (C2) and wetland meadows (C3).

The rhizosphere serves as a critical interface for plant-soil-microorganism interactions. Rhizosphere soil refers to the soil directly adhering to root surfaces, while non-rhizosphere soil denotes the surrounding soil not in direct contact with roots. This study investigated the characteristics of soil microbial community structure, diversity, and enzyme activity dynamics in both rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils of (shrub) across different restoration periods (4, 8, 16, and 24 years) in alpine sandy lands on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with unrestored sandy land as control (CK), while analyzing relationships between soil properties and microbial characteristics.

Introduction: Symbiotic fungi with plants are important for plant nutrient uptake and resource redistribution.

Methods: High-throughput sequencing was used to investigate the composition and driving factors of fungal communities in three rhizocompartments (root endosphere, rhizosphere soil, and non-rhizosphere soil) of different halophyte life forms in the National Nature Reserve of Ebinur Lake Wetland in Xinjiang, China.

Results: (1) The α-diversity index differed significantly among the three rhizocompartments of halophytes with different life forms ( < 0.
