Diversity and drivers of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the rhizosphere soil of wine grape in the eastern foot of Helan Mountain in Ningxia of China.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbiotic microorganisms that exert positive effects on their host plants. However, their colonization and community diversity in wine grapes remain unclear.

Methods

This study investigated roots and rhizosphere soils from Cabernet Sauvignon grapevines in vineyards in seven ecological regions at the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains in Ningxia, China. We employed Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing to analyze AMF community composition and diversity in the rhizosphere soil, and examined the effects of soil factors on AMF communities.

Results

The results showed that the grapevine root system was colonized by AMF, with significant spatial heterogeneity in colonization rates and spore densities across the sample
