Microbiomes are important for crop performance. However, a deeper knowledge of crop-associated microbial communities is needed to harness beneficial host-microbe interactions. Here, by assessing the assembly and functions maize microbiomes across soil types, climate zones, genotypes, we found that stem xylem selectively recruits highly conserved microbes dominated Gammaproteobacteria. We showed proportion bacterial taxa carrying nitrogenase gene (nifH) was larger in than other organs such as root leaf endosphere. Of 25 core identified sap, several isolated strains were confirmed be active nitrogen-fixers or assist with biological nitrogen fixation. On this basis, established synthetic (SynComs) consisting two diazotrophs helpers. GFP-tagged 15N isotopic dilution method demonstrated these SynComs do thrive contribute, through fixation, 11.8% total N accumulated stems. These sap represent an untapped resource can exploited increase productivity.

Abstract Microbial composition and functions in the rhizosphere—an important microbial hotspot—are among most fascinating yet elusive topics ecology. We used 557 pairs of published 16S rDNA amplicon sequences from bulk soils rhizosphere different ecosystems around world to generalize bacterial characteristics with respect community diversity, composition, functions. The selects microorganisms soil function as a seed bank, reducing diversity. is enriched Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, other copiotrophs. Highly modular but unstable networks (common for r -strategists) reflect interactions adaptations dynamic conditions. Dormancy strategies are dominated by toxin–antitoxin systems, while sporulation common soils. Functional predictions showed that genes involved organic compound conversion, nitrogen fixation, denitrification were strongly (11–182%), nitrification depleted.

Summary Climate change is increasing global temperatures and the frequency severity of droughts in many regions. These anthropogenic stresses pose a significant threat to plant performance crop production. The plant‐associated microbiome modulates impacts biotic abiotic on fitness. However, climate change‐induced alteration composition activities microbiomes can affect host functions. Here, we highlight recent advancements our understanding impact (warming drought) plant–microbiome interactions their ecological functions from genome ecosystem scales. We identify knowledge gaps, propose new concepts make recommendations for future research directions. It proposed that short term (years decades), adaptation plants mainly driven by microbiome, whereas long (century millennia), will be equally eco‐evolutionary between its host. A better response ways which mitigate negative inform predictions primary productivity aid developing management policy tools improve resilience systems.

The plant microbiome is an integral part of the host and increasingly recognized as playing fundamental roles in growth health. Increasing evidence indicates that rhizosphere recruits beneficial microbes to suppress soil-borne pathogens. However, ecological processes govern assembly functions below- aboveground compartments under pathogen invasion are not fully understood. Here, we studied bacterial fungal communities associated with 12 (e.g., soils, roots, stems, fruits) chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) using amplicons (16S ITS) metagenomics approaches at main production sites China investigated how Fusarium wilt disease (FWD) affects assembly, co-occurrence patterns, plant-associated microbiomes.The amplicon data analyses revealed FWD affected less on reproductive organs (fruit) than vegetative (root stem), strongest impact upper stem epidermis. Fungal intra-kingdom networks were stable their more sensitive communities. analysis microbial interkingdom network further indicated destabilized induced importance taxa. Although diseased plants susceptible colonization by other pathogenic fungi, can also recruit potential bacteria. Some taxa enriched identified core for microbiomes hub networks.
