Microbiome structure variation and soybean's defense responses during flooding stress and elevated CO₂.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

With current trends in global climate change, both flooding episodes and higher levels of CO₂ have been key factors to impact plant growth and stress tolerance. Very little is known about how both factors can influence the microbiome diversity and function, especially in tolerant soybean cultivars. This work aims to (i) elucidate the impact of flooding stress and increased levels of CO₂ on the plant defenses and (ii) understand the microbiome diversity during flooding stress and elevated CO₂ (eCO₂).

Methods

We used next-generation sequencing and bioinformatic methods to show the impact of natural flooding and eCO₂ on the microbiome architecture of soybean plants' below- (soil) and above-ground organs (root a
