Influence of plant genotype and soil on the cotton rhizosphere microbiome.

ABSTRACT: Rhizosphere microbial communities are recognized as crucial products of intimate interactions between plant and soil, playing important roles in plant growth and health. Enhancing the understanding of this process is a promising way to promote the next green revolution by applying the multifunctional benefits coming with rhizosphere microbiomes. In this study, we propagated eight cotton genotypes (four upland cotton cultivars and four sea-land cotton cultivars) with varying levels of resistance to Verticillium dahliae in three distinct soil types. Amplicon sequencing was applied to profile both bacterial and fungal communities in the rhizosphere of cotton. The results revealed that soil origin was the primary factor causing divergence in rhizosphere microbial community, with plant g
