Structure and function of microbiomes in the rhizosphere and endosphere response to temperature and precipitation variation in Inner Mongolia steppes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Owing to challenges in the study of complex rhizosphere and endophytic microbial communities, the composition and function of such microbial communities in steppe ecosystems remain elusive. Here, we studied the microbial communities of the rhizosphere and endophytic microbes of the dominant plant species across the Inner Mongolian steppes using metagenomic sequencing and investigated their relationships with changes in mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP).

Methods

Metagenomic sequencing based on Illumina high-throughput sequencing, using the paired end method to construct a small fragment library for sequencing.

Results

Adaptation of root systems to the environment affected the composition and function of rhizosphere and endop
