Characterization of the bacterial communities associated with the rhizosphere and soils surrounding Arabidopsis and Brachypodium

Experimental design# The following sequence data was used as part of a DOE funded project to explore the relationship between drought and microbial recruitment in Sorghum bicolor. For detailed descriptions of experimental design, please see the associated publication. In brief, we planted two different sorghum cultivars (RTx430 and BTx642) within a randomized block design that accounted for treatments, genotypes and replication, with three replicate blocks in total. From this field experiment,

Plants interact closely with microbes, which are partly responsible for plant growth, health and adaptation to stressful environments. Engineering the plant-associated microbiome could improve plants survival and performance in stressful environments such as contaminated soils. Here, willow cuttings were planted into highly petroleum-contaminated soils that had been gamma-irradiated and subjected to one of four treatments: inoculation with rhizosphere soil from a willow that grew well (LA) or ...

The study goal is to support crop breeders in identifying microbial communities and characteristics that improve crop yield. The microbial community associated with the roots of canola grown over a three-year period in a Saskatchewan field will be analyzed. DNA extraction and analysis results from the roots and soils will identify specific microbes or communities of microbes connected with the high yielding varieties. In combination with other phenotypic data, unique identifiers of the microbial ...
