Soil microbiome analysis reveals effects of periodic waterlogging stress on sugarcane growth.

ABSTRACT: Sugarcane is one of the major agricultural crops with high economic importance in Thailand. Periodic waterlogging has a long-term negative effect on sugarcane development, soil properties, and microbial diversity, impacting overall sugarcane production. Yet, the microbial structure in periodically waterlogged sugarcane fields across soil compartments and growth stages in Thailand has not been documented. This study investigated soil and rhizosphere microbial communities in a periodic waterlogged field in comparison with a normal field in a sugarcane plantation in Ratchaburi, Thailand, using 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing. Alpha diversity analysis revealed comparable values in periodic waterlogged and normal fields across all growth stages, while beta diversity analysis highlighted di
