Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) impact seed germination, with fungal communities varying by plant partners. Pathogens were not strictly host-specific, revealing complex microbe-mediated interactions.

Area of Science:

  • Plant ecology
  • Microbial ecology
  • Community dynamics

Background:

  • Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) are crucial for plant community diversity.
  • The role of PSFs in the seed stage and associated fungal shifts remains largely unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how plant-soil feedbacks affect seed germination.
  • To characterize fungal community composition in response to plant species.
  • To identify fungal pathogens associated with plant-soil feedbacks.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted pairwise PSF experiments with seven grassland species.
  • Utilized metagenomics to analyze soil fungal community composition.
  • Assigned taxonomy to soil fungi and identified putative pathogens.

Main Results:

  • Observed negative, positive, and neutral PSFs on seed germination.
  • Found host-specialized soil fungal communities, but specialized microbes did not always cause PSFs.
  • Identified overlapping host-specialized pathogens among plant species, with variation based on plant partners.

Conclusions:

  • PSFs are important at the seed stage, influencing germination.
  • Fungal pathogens are not strictly host-specific and vary with plant interactions.
  • Complex microbe-mediated interactions shape plant communities across life stages.
