Effects of different seasons on bacterial community structure in rose rhizosphere soil

TO explore the changes of rhizosphere soil bacterial community of Rosa rugosa "Fenghua", Rosa rugosa cv. Plena and Rosa rugosa "Zizhi" in different seasons, the Illumina Miseq sequencing and the correlation network analysis of dominant flora was used. The results showed that the bacterial communities were mainly composed of Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria, with Sphingomonas, GP6, GP4, Novosphingobium, Wps-1_genera_incertae_sedis, and Massilia as the dominant genera. The correlation network analysis showed that, as the dominant group with the highest relative abundance, Sphingomonas had a significant positive correlation with Gemmatimonas, Aridibacter, GP3, GP4, and Flavisolibacter, and a significant negative correlation with Solirubrobacter, indicating that it could work synergistically with a variety of microorganisms to contribute to soil metabolism and the growth and development of roses. The results revealed the diversity of microbial structures in the rhizosphere soil of Rosa rugosa "Fenghua", Rosa rugosa cv. Plena and Rosa rugosa "Zizhi", and this will provide a theoretical basis for exploring the change rules of microbial communities, screening and utilizing beneficial microorganisms, and maintaining the growth and development of roses. KEY POINTS: • Variations from season to season significantly affected the bacterial community structure. • There was less variability in the bacterial community structure between rose varieties. • Sphingomonas was the dominant bacterium in all seasons.
