Influence of organic plant breeding on the rhizosphere microbiome of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We now recognize that plant genotype affects the assembly of its microbiome, which in turn, affects essential plant functions. The production system for crop plants also influences the microbiome composition, and as a result, we would expect to find differences between conventional and organic production systems. Plant genotypes selected in an organic regime may host different microbiome assemblages than those selected in conventional environments. We aimed to address these questions using recombinant inbred populations of snap bean that differed in breeding history.

Methods

Rhizosphere microbiomes of conventional and organic common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were characterized within a long-term organic research site. The fungal and bacterial communit
