Differences in rhizosphere soil fungal communities of wild and cultivated Paeonia ludlowii species.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Paeonia ludlowii is a rare and endangered plant species with a high application value. However, its low cultivation success rate in China has severely limited its protection, development, and utilization. In addition to natural factors, microorganisms in the rhizosphere play an important role in determining its cultivation success.

Methods

In this study, growth indexes and soil physicochemical properties of both wild (origin: Nyingchi) and cultivated (introduction: Luanchuan) species of P. ludlowii were measured during the flowering, fruiting, and autumn foliage stages. ITS high-throughput sequencing technology was employed to detect rhizosphere soil fungi, and the diversity, community structure, functional prediction, molecular network, and ecolog
