Project description:Background: The soil environment is responsible for sustaining most terrestrial plant life on earth, yet we know surprisingly little about the important functions carried out by diverse microbial communities in soil. Soil microbes that inhabit the channels of decaying root systems, the detritusphere, are likely to be essential for plant growth and health, as these channels are the preferred locations of new root growth. Understanding the microbial metagenome of the detritusphere and how it responds to agricultural management such as crop rotations and soil tillage will be vital for improving global food production. Methods: The rhizosphere soils of wheat and chickpea growing under + and - decaying root were collected for metagenomics sequencing. A gene catalogue was established by de novo assembling metagenomic sequencing. Genes abundance was compared between bulk soil and rhizosphere soils under different treatments. Conclusions: The study describes the diversity and functional capacity of a high-quality soil microbial metagenome. The results demonstrate the contribution of the microbiome from decaying root in determining the metagenome of developing root systems, which is fundamental to plant growth, since roots preferentially inhabit previous root channels. Modifications in root microbial function through soil management, can ultimately govern plant health, productivity and food security.
Project description:We present metaproteome data from wheat rhizosphere from saline and non-saline soil. For collection and acquisition of metaproteome from wheat rhizosphere under saline and normal conditions, a survey was conducted in regions of Haryana, India. Samples from 65 days old plants (wheat var HD2967) were collected and pooled and based on EC,saline (NBAIM B; EC 6mS cm-1; pH 9.0; Bhaupur 2, Haryana, INDIA; 29°19'8"N;76°48'53"E) and normal soil samples (NBAIM C; EC 200 uS cm-1; pH 7.2; Near Nainform, Haryana, INDIA; 29°19'8"N;76°48'53"E) were selected for isolation of proteome with the standardized protocol at our laboratory followed by metaproteome analysis with the standardized pipepline. In total 1538 and 891 proteins were obtained from wheat rhizosphere from saline and non-saline respectively with the given parameters and software. Among 1410 proteins unique for saline soil, proteins responsible for glycine, serine and threonine metabolism and arginine and proline biosynthesis were found in saline and absent in non-saline. The present study extends knowledge about the physiology and adaptations of the wheat rhizosphere associated microbiota under saline soil.
Project description:This project is designed for whole transcriptome sequencing of bacteria isolated from Rhizosphere of Wheat Plant, which has its impact on overall plant growth.
Project description:Gene expression patterns of the plant colonizing bacterium,Pseudomonas putida KT2440 were evaluated as a function of growth in the Arabidopsis thaliana rhizosphere. Gene expression in rhizosphere grown P. putida cells was compared to gene expression in non-rhizosphere grown cells. Keywords: Gene expression
