Core microbiota of wheat rhizosphere under Upper Indo-Gangetic plains and their response to soil physicochemical properties.

ABSTRACT: Wheat is widely cultivated in the Indo-Gangetic plains of India and forms the major staple food in the region. Understanding microbial community structure in wheat rhizosphere along the Indo-Gangetic plain and their association with soil properties can be an important base for developing strategies for microbial formulations. In the present study, an attempt was made to identify the core microbiota of wheat rhizosphere through a culture-independent approach. Rhizospheric soil samples were collected from 20 different sites along the upper Indo-Gangetic plains and their bacterial community composition was analyzed based on sequencing of the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. Diversity analysis has shown significant variation in bacterial diversity among the sites. The taxonomic profile ident
