Compositional Shifts and Assembly in Rhizosphere-Associated Fungal Microbiota Throughout the Life Cycle of Japonica Rice Under Increased Nitrogen Fertilization.

ABSTRACT: Soil fungal microbiomes facilitate a range of beneficial functions for their host plants, and rhizosphere fungal community composition, richness, and diversity affect plant growth and development, and crop yield. Therefore, exploring the community structure and assembly of the rhizosphere fungal microbiome and its relationship with soil biochemical properties are fundamental to elucidating how rice plants benefit from their fungal symbionts. In this study, soil samples were collected at seedling, tillering, heading, and ripening stages of rice subjected to three levels of nitrogen fertilization. Plant growth demonstrates a substantial influence on fungal community composition and diversity. From the tillering to the ripening stage, the fungal communities were governed by homogenizing dispe
