Diversity Shifts in the Root Microbiome of Cucumber Under Different Plant Cultivation Substrates.

ABSTRACT: Application of plant artificial cultivation substrates lead to alteration of rhizosphere environment. Whether this alteration could lead to root microbiome variation was limitedly investigated. This work aims to determine the diversity shifts in the root microbiome of cucumber under different plant cultivation substrates and predict corresponding function of these different root bacterial microbiota. Cucumber root samples cultivated with two artificial cultivation substrates and greenhouse soils were prepared. Subsequently, high throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were applicated to compare the root bacterial diversity of cucumber cultivated in different substrates and their corresponding function. In total, 311,039 sequences were obtained, and they were annotated to 42 opera
