Project description:au07-05_groundworms - groundworms - Do earthworms affect plant growth through signal molecules? - Plants were grown in a sandy soil from the Centre de Recherche en Ecologie Expérimentale et Prédictive (CEREEP, France), in the presence or absence of earthworms. Soil was dried and sieved at 2 mm before to be put in the pots. There was 2 levels of treatment (presence or absence of earthworms in the soil), and 5 plants per treatments. Keywords: treated vs untreated comparison

Project description:The take-all disease caused by the soilborne fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis var tritici (Ggt) is one of the most-studied and widespread root diseases worldwide. Here, we investigated the ability of the earthworm Aporrectodea caliginosa to induce take-all disease tolerance in Triticum aestivum. In a greenhouse experiment, plants were grown in a sandy soil. Plants were inoculated or not with Ggt and in the presence or absence of earthworms. There was 4 levels of treatment (plants only, inoculated with Ggt, inoculated with earthworms or inoculated with earthworms and Ggt), and 2-3 plants per treatments.

Project description:Cwmystwyth is an abandoned lead mine site. The soil of this metalliferous mine site is inhabited by lead hyper-resistant Lumbricus rubellus earthworms. The nature of their resistance to heavy metal lead has not been elucidated in fine detail, especially within a tissue-specific context. Moreover, earthworms have yet to be studied using long read transcriptomic technologies. Hence, various tissues of a Cwmystwyth earthworm were dissected and long read RNA sequenced using the PacBio Sequel Ile system.

Project description:Earthworms enhance plant growth but the precise mechanism by which this occurs is not known. An understanding of the mechanism could potentially support changes in agricultural management reducing fertiliser usage and therefore costs and the carbon footprint of agriculture. We conducted a factorial experiment in which 5 strains of wheat were grown in the presence and absence of earthworms under regular watering and droughted conditions. The different wheat strains all responded in a similar fashion. Plant biomass was greater in the presence of earthworms and under regular watering. The presence of earthworms reduced the impact of drought on plant biomass and also slowed down the rate of drying of the droughted soils. Plant nutrient content (N, P, Si) showed no consistent pattern with treatments but total N, P and Si mirrored plant biomass and decreased in the order earthworm-present watered > earthworm-present droughted > earthworm-absent watered > earthworm-absent droughted. Nutrient availability in the soil, as assessed by chemical extractions showed no consistent pattern with treatments. Differential gene expression of plants was greater between watering treatments than between earthworm treatments. Genes that were differentially expressed between the earthworm treatments predominantly related to plant defences, abiotic stress and control of plant growth though a couple were linked to both nitrogen cycling and stress responses. The soil microbiome of the earthworm-present treatments was more associated with nutrient-rich environments, the promotion of plant growth and the suppression of plant pathogens. Our data suggest that enhanced plant growth was due to changes in the microbiome due to earthworm processing of the soil rather than changes in nutrient availability due to the presence of earthworms.

Project description:One of the most widely used drugs in municipal wastewater treatment effluents and soil is carbamazepine, a commonly prescribed antidepressants and antiepileptic drug. Carbamazepine exerts an intrinsic biological activity on the nervous system, thus may induce ecotoxicological effects on non-target organisms. Earthworms, one of the essential indicator species of soil health, accumulate biosolid fertilisers and wastewater contaminants. In this project, earthworms (Dendrobaena veneta) were treated with carbamazepine to explore their uptake dynamics, molecular and life cycle endpoints. By conducting transcriptomic profiling of different tissues in an organism exposed to carbamazepine assists in defining detoxification and neural system responses in the terrestrial invertebrate.
