Water plays a significant role in the life cycle of plants. However, insufficient or excess of water can be detrimental and pose a serious threat to plants.

The Soil Ecosystem

Plants obtain inorganic minerals and water from the soil, which acts as a natural medium for land plants. The composition and quality of soil depend not only on the chemical constituents but also on the presence of living organisms. In general, soils contain three major components:

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Water and Mineral Acquisition

Specialized tissues in plant roots have evolved to capture water, minerals, and some ions from the soil. Roots exhibit a variety of branching patterns that facilitate this process. The outermost root cells have specialized structures called root hairs that increase the root surface, thus increasing soil contact. Water can passively cross into roots, as the concentration of water in the soil is higher than that of the root tissue. Minerals, in contrast, are actively transported into root cells.

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Summary

Soil permeability influences antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in paddy fields. High permeability boosts ARGs by increasing nutrients, but stabilizes their levels across rice growth stages.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Microbiology
  • Soil Science

Background:

  • Growing evidence links soil properties to antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) profiles.
  • The impact of soil permeability on ARGs patterns in paddy fields remains understudied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the dynamic distribution of ARGs in paddy fields with varying soil permeability.
  • To identify abiotic and biotic factors influencing ARGs profiles across rice growth stages.

Main Methods:

  • Field study across different soil permeability zones in paddy fields.
  • Analysis of ARGs abundance and distribution throughout rice growing stages.
  • Application of partial least-squares path modeling (PLS-PM) to determine influencing factors.

Main Results:

  • High soil permeability elevated ARGs abundance by increasing available soil nutrients.
  • ARGs abundance decreased at the heading stage and increased at maturity, with less variation in high-permeability soils.
  • Soil available nutrients (AP, NH4+-N) and microbial hosts (Bradyrhizobium, Serratia) were key drivers of ARGs dynamics.
  • Increased permeability improved soil ventilation and redox potential (Eh), stabilizing ARGs.

Conclusions:

  • Soil permeability is a critical factor shaping ARGs dynamics in paddy fields.
  • Nutrient availability and microbial communities mediate the effect of soil permeability on ARGs.
  • Understanding these dynamics is crucial for managing antibiotic resistance in agricultural environments.
