Plant health states may influence the distribution of rhizosphere microorganisms, which regulate plant growth and development. In this study, response bacteria fungi healthy diseased plants compared to bulk microbes was analyzed using high-throughput sequencing. adaptation strategies under potato virus Y (PVY) infection have been studied from a microbial perspective. The diversity community structure varied between soils, but not soils. A LEfSe analysis revealed significant differences different treatments on bacterial fungal compositions identified Roseiflexaceae, Sphingomonas , Sphingobium as biomarkers (BCK), (BHS), (BIS) respectively; Rhodotorula Ascomycota_unidentified_1_1 were (FCK) (FHS) Bacterial networks found be more complex compact than roles network keystone taxa.

Zinc-Solubilizing Microorganisms: Contributions in Nutrient Availability and Implications for Crop Productivity in Sustainable Agriculture

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Conventional intensive agricultural practices are currently used to make nutrition available for the ever-increasing global inhabitants. Among various micronutrients, zinc (Zn) performs several essential functions in plants' life cycle. Therefore, approaches enhance Zn content cereal grains required reduce negative effects of deficiency on plants and humans. Currently, soil- or rhizosphere-dwelling microorganisms have been characterized that employ different mechanisms availability plants. Some zinc-solubilizing (ZnSMs) also possess additional beneficial properties, including solubilization phosphorous potassium, production phytohormones as well siderophores. Application such ZnSMs bioinoculants has found soil fertility status, leading increases plant biomass crop production. applied microbial inoculants minimize conventional fertilizer use soils. In this chapter, current information characterization ZnSMs, employed solubilization, their contribution toward improvement yields discussed.
