Niche differentiation in the rhizosphere and endosphere fungal microbiome of wild Paris polyphylla Sm.

ABSTRACT: Background:The plant microbiome is one of the key determinants of plant health and metabolite production. The plant microbiome affects the plant's absorption of nutrient elements, improves plant tolerance to negative environmental factors, increases the accumulation of active components, and alters tissue texture. The microbial community is also important for the accumulation of secondary metabolites by plants. However, there are few studies on the niche differentiation of endophytic microorganisms of plants, especially at different elevations. Methods:We investigated the effects of altitude on the community composition of endophytic fungal communities and the differentiation of endophytic microorganisms among different niches in Paris polyphylla Sm. The rhizosphere soil, roots, rhizomes and leaves of wild-type P. polyphylla Sm. at different altitudes were sampled, and the fungal communities of all samples were analyzed by internal transcribed spacer one amplification sequencing. Results:The results showed that in rhizosphere soil, the number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) that could be classified or identified decreased significantly with increasing altitude, whereas in the endosphere of plants, the total number of OTUs was higher at intermediate altitudes than other altitudes. Furthermore, the structural variability in the rhizosphere fungal community was significantly lower than that in the endophytic communities. In addition, our results confirmed the presence of niche differentiation among members of the endophytic microbial community. Finally, we also determined that the predominant genus of mycobiota in the rhizome was Cadophora. This study provides insight into the relationships between the endosphere microbiome and plants and can guide the artificial cultivation of this plant.

Project description:The microbiomes of plant are potential determinants of plant growth, productivity, and health. They provide plants with a plethora of functional capacities, namely, phytopathogens suppression, access to low-abundance nutrients, and resistance to environmental stressors. However, a comprehensive insight into the structural compositions of the bacterial abundance, diversity, richness, and function colonizing various microenvironments of plants, and specifically their association with bioactive compounds and soil edaphic factors under silicon (Si) amendment remains largely inconclusive. Here, high-throughput sequencing technology and nontargeted metabolite profiling method were adopted to test the hypotheses regarding microbiome niche abundance, diversity, richness, function, and their association with bioactive compounds and soil edaphic factors within different ecological niches (leaf, stem, root, rhizosphere, and bulk soils) under Si amendment during cane growth were we addressed. Our results demonstrated that Si correspondingly increased sugarcane theoretical production and yield, and remarkably enhanced soil nutrient status, especially Si, AP, and AK. It was also observed that bacterial diversity demonstrated tissue-dependent distribution patterns, with the bulk soil, rhizosphere soil, and root endosphere revealing the highest amount of bacterial diversity compared with the stem and leaf tissues. Moreover, Si exhibited the advantage of considerably promoting bacterial abundance in the various plant compartments. Co-occurrence interactions demonstrated that Si application has the potential to increase bacterial diversity maintenance, coexistence, and plant-soil systems bacteria connections, thereby increasing the functional diversity in the various plant tissues, which, in turn, could trigger positive growth effects in plants. Network analysis further revealed that metabolite profiles exhibited a strong association with bacterial community structures. It was also revealed that Si content had a considerable positive association with bacterial structures. Our findings suggest that the dynamic changes in microbe's community composition in different plant and soil compartments were compartment-specific. Our study provides comprehensive empirical evidence of the significance of Si in agriculture and illuminated on differential metabolite profiles and soil microbe's relationship.

Project description:Understanding the changes in bacterial community structure in different microenvironments of Camellia oleifera is essential to better explore the benign interaction between beneficial microorganisms and plants. Using Camellia oleifera trees, a Chinese wooden oil plant as a model ecosystem, we characterized the archaeal and bacterial microbiome across five different tissue-level niches using 16S rRNA gene analyses. Our research indicates that the diversity of Camellia oleifera endophytic bacterial communities is highly dependent on the plant compartment. The species replacement process (69.90%) is the dominant factor in the differences in bacterial community structure. The dominant bacteria phyla (Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Chloroflexi, and Verrucomicrobia) of Camellia oleifera show a significant plant compartment (roots, stems, leaves, fruits) enrichment effects. A variety of bacteria (Hymenobacter, Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium, Mesorhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Bacillus, Ochrobactrum, Pantoea, Pseudomonas, etc.) with nitrogen-fixed potentials are enriched in Camellia oleifera tissue. In addition, the hub bacterial groups of Camellia oleifera are Nitrospira, Haemophilus, Staphylococcus, Ruminiclostridium, and Ochrobactrum. They are widespread colonization in various tissues with a low relative abundance and may play an important role in the nitrogen cycle, host life promotion, and plant defense. This study provides a holistic understanding of the endosphere bacterial community structure, which is one of the most complete ecological niche-level analyses of Camellia oleifera. These results provide a scientific theoretical basis for an in-depth discussion of plant-endosphere microbial interaction and better exploration of benign interaction of beneficial microorganisms and plants.IMPORTANCEMicroorganisms inhabited various tissues of plants and play a key role in promoting plant growth, nutritional absorption, and resistance.

Project description:The increasing demands for crop production have become a great challenge while people also realizing the significance of reductions in synthetic chemical fertilizer use. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are proven biofertilizers for increasing crop yields by promoting plant growth via various direct or indirect mechanisms. Siderophilic bacteria, as an important type of PGPR, can secrete siderophores to chelate unusable Fe3+ in the soil for plant growth. Siderophilic bacteria have been shown to play vital roles in preventing diseases and enhancing the growth of plants. Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis (PPVY) is an important traditional Chinese herb. However, reports about its siderophilic bacteria are still rare. This study firstly isolated siderophilic bacteria from the rhizosphere soil of PPVY, identified by morphological and physio-biochemical characteristics as well as 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The dominant genus in the rhizobacteria of PPVY was Bacillus. Among 22 isolates, 21 isolates produced siderophores. The relative amount of siderophores ranged from 4 to 41%. Most of the isolates produced hydroxamate siderophores and some produced catechol. Four isolates belonging to Enterobacter produced the catechol type, and none of them produced carboxylate siderophores. Intriguingly, 16 strains could produce substances that have inhibitory activity against Candida albicans only in an iron-limited medium (SA medium). The effects of different concentrations of Fe3+ and three types of synthetic chemical fertilizers on AS19 growth, siderophore production, and swimming motility were first evaluated from multiple aspects. The study also found that the cell-free supernatant (CFS) with high siderophore units (SUs) of AS19 strain could significantly promote the germination of pepper and maize seeds and the development of the shoots and leaves of Gynura divaricata (Linn.). The bacterial solution of AS19 strain could significantly promote the elongation of the roots of G. divaricata (Linn.). Due to its combined traits promoting plant growth and seed germination, the AS19 has the potential to become a bioinoculant. This study will broaden the application prospects of the siderophilic bacteria-AS19 as biofertilizers for future sustainable agriculture.
