Comparison of Rhizospheric and Endophytic Bacterial Compositions between Netted and Oriental Melons.

ABSTRACT: To elucidate the biological mechanism of formation of the netted pattern in melons, the characteristics of the soil bacterial community structure in the rhizosphere and of the endophytic bacteria in the stems of netted melons were analyzed. High-throughput sequencing technology was used for the analysis of plant stem and soil samples collected from netted melons (NM) and oriental melons (OM). At the phylum level, Acidobacteria, Dependentiae, and Chloroflexi were the dominant endophytic bacteria in the stems of NM only. In addition, at the genus level, the soil bacteria enriched in the rhizospheres of NM and OM were different. Five unique dominant bacterial genera, including Gaiella, Actinoplanes, norank_f__Gemmatimonadaceae, Devosia, and Bradyrhizobium, w
