[Functional Genomics Analysis of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Transformation in Maize Rhizosphere Microorganisms].

Fertilizer reduction and efficiency improvement is an important basis for ensuring the safety of the agricultural ecological environment. Microorganisms are the key driving force for regulating the soil nitrogen and phosphorus cycle. Studying the nitrogen and phosphorus transformation function of rhizosphere microorganisms can provide a microbiological regulation approach for further improving the use efficiency of soil nitrogen and phosphorus. Based on the field micro-plot experiments of three typical farmland soils(phaeozem, cambisol, and acrisol), metagenomic sequencing technology was used to study the differences in functional genes and regulatory factors of maize rhizosphere microorganisms during soil nitrogen and phosphorus transformation. The results showed that the functional diversity of maize rhizosphere microorganisms was affected by soil type. The functional diversity of rhizosphere microorganisms in phaeozem and cambisol was mainly affected by water content and nutrient content, and that in acrisol was affected by total phosphorus(TP) and available phosphorus(AP). For soil nitrogen transformation, the gene abundance of related enzymes in the pathway of nitrogen transformation was the highest in the urease gene() and glucose dehydrogenase gene(), which were 7.25×10-12.88×10 and 4.47×10-7.49×10, respectively. The total abundance of assimilatory nitrate reduction functional genes in acrisol was higher than that in phaeozem and cambisol, and the total abundance of functional genes related to other processes was the highest in cambisol. The abundance of functional genes encoding enzymes related to nitrogen metabolism was mainly driven by soil bacterial richness, total potassium(TK), and TP. For soil phosphorus transformation, the number of alkaline phosphatase genes() catalyzing organic phosphorus mineralization was 1093, and the number of acid phosphatase genes() was 42. The abundance of was two orders of magnitude higher than that of . In addition, fertilization had no significant effect on the abundance of and in the same soil type. Random forest analysis showed that the abundances of and were significantly affected by soil moisture, organic matter(OM), and total nitrogen(TN), but AP content had the greatest impact on abundance. These results clarified the nitrogen and phosphorus transformation characteristics of maize rhizosphere microorganisms at the functional genomic level and enriched the molecular biological mechanism of the microbial nitrogen and phosphorus transformation function.
