The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition

42.7K
Plants have the impressive ability to create their own food through photosynthesis. However, plants often require assistance from organisms in the soil to acquire the nutrients they need to function correctly. Both bacteria and fungi have evolved symbiotic relationships with plants that help the species to thrive in a wide variety of environments.

Epiphytes, Parasites, and Carnivores

Plants often form mutualistic relationships with soil-dwelling fungi or bacteria to enhance their roots’ nutrient uptake ability. Root-colonizing fungi (e.g., mycorrhizae) increase a plant’s root surface area, which promotes nutrient absorption. While root-colonizing, nitrogen-fixing bacteria (e.g., rhizobia) convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3), making nitrogen available to plants for various biological functions. For example, nitrogen is essential for the...

Area of Science:

  • Plant Pathology
  • Soil Microbiology
  • Nematology

Background:

  • Apple replant disease (ARD) poses significant challenges in orchards and nurseries.
  • Previous research suggests a complex interaction between nematodes and microbes contributes to ARD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the nematode-microbe complex associated with apple replant disease.
  • To identify specific soil organisms linked to disease development in replanted apple soils.

Main Methods:

  • Sampling of replanted and control apple plots over two years and two fields.
  • Amplicon sequencing of nematode, fungal, and bacterial communities.
  • Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) to identify indicator species.

Main Results:

  • Significantly different nematode and microbial communities were found in replanted versus control plots.
  • Free-living nematodes (Aphelenchus, Cephalenchus, Dorylaimida) and microbes (Mortierella, Methylotenera) were associated with replanted soils.
  • Rhabditis, Streptomyces, and Chaetomiaceae fungi were indicative of healthy control plots.

Conclusions:

  • Distinct microbial and nematode profiles characterize apple replant disease soils.
  • Identifying these specific organisms is crucial for understanding and mitigating ARD.
  • Further research on these putative disease complexes can aid in managing stress-induced root damage in apple.
