Deciphering the rhizosphere microbiota composition of nature farming soybean (Glycine max L.) with different nodulation phenotypes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nature farming, a sustainable agricultural method which avoids agrochemicals and untreated organic amendments, promotes both agricultural productivity and ecological conservation. This system may foster unique plant-microbiota interactions for growth and fitness; however, the microbiota of nature-farmed plants remains largely unexplored. Second, root nodule symbiosis (RNS) is crucial for nitrogen fixation in legumes; however, its broader impact on rhizosphere microbiota assembly is not well understood. This study examined the dynamics between impaired nodule symbiosis, soil management, and the rhizosphere microbiota composition and growth of soybean (Glycine max L.).

Results

We evaluated the growth and characterized the rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities
