In pot culture, we evaluated the effects of green manure of wild rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC.) on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) rhizosphere fungal community composition. Cucumber rhizosphere fungal composition was analyzed by high-throughput amplicon sequencing of fungal ITS regions. Results showed that cucumber seedling rhizosphere fungal community composition was different between the fallow treatment and green manure treatment. However, green manure treatment did not affect the cucumber seedlings fungal community alpha diversity. Compared with the fallow treatment, cucumber grown in green manure of wild rocket had higher relative abundance of phylum Ascomycota but lower relative abundance of phylum Zygomycota. Moreover, green manure of wild rocket decreased operational taxonomic units (OTUs) classified as Pseudallescheria and Kernia spp. but increased OTUs classified as Humicola and Fusarium spp. in cucumber rhizosphere.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
