Journal Article
The structure and function of the global citrus rhizosphere microbiome
2018
Overview
Citrus is a globally important, perennial fruit crop whose rhizosphere microbiome is thought to play an important role in promoting citrus growth and health. Here, we report a comprehensive analysis of the structural and functional composition of the citrus rhizosphere microbiome. We use both amplicon and deep shotgun metagenomic sequencing of bulk soil and rhizosphere samples collected across distinct biogeographical regions from six continents. Predominant taxa include
Proteobacteria
,
Actinobacteria
,
Acidobacteria
and
Bacteroidetes
. The core citrus rhizosphere microbiome comprises
Pseudomonas
,
Agrobacterium
,
Cupriavidus
,
Bradyrhizobium
,
Rhizobium
,
Mesorhizobium
,
Burkholderia
,
Cellvibrio
,
Sphingomonas
,
Variovorax
and
Paraburkholderia
, some of which are potential plant beneficial microbes. We also identify over-represented microbial functional traits mediating plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions, nutrition acquisition and plant growth promotion in citrus rhizosphere. The results provide valuable information to guide microbial isolation and culturing and, potentially, to harness the power of the microbiome to improve plant production and health.
Research on plant root-associated microbial communities may help develop more efficient or sustainable crop production methods. Here the authors analyse the citrus rhizosphere microbiome, using both amplicon and deep shotgun metagenomic sequencing of samples collected across six continents.
