Fungal endophyte Phomopsis liquidambari B3 enriches the diversity of nodular culturable endophytic bacteria associated with continuous cropping of peanut

Endophytic fungi as direct plant growth promoters for sustainable agricultural production

“…Therefore, P. liquidambari in rice, while improving the use of N by the plant (Li et al 2018) and increasing its utilization in nutrient-limited soil (Yang et al 2014), is capable of modifying rhizospheric microbiota, improving plant growth and development (Tang et al 2019). In other crops such as peanut, P. liquidambari isolated from B. polycarpa has also been determined to be able to increase the content of vegetable N thanks to enhancing the efficiency of nodulation and nitrogen fixation, by enriching the diversity of nodular endophytic bacteria (Wu et al 2019).…”

Mycelial network-mediated rhizobial dispersal enhances legume nodulation

“…Moreover, we found that Ph. liquidambaris was able to help other three peanut nodule-occuping rhizobia [21], cross the ring (Fig. S7).…”

Soil properties, bacterial and fungal community compositions and the key factors after 5-year continuous monocropping of three minor crops

“…There are multiple cropping systems in the production of proso millet, common bean and common buckwheat, including crop rotation and continuous monocropping. According to previous studies, continuous monocropping has a significant negative impact on crop yield and soil quality [3,4], and it was related to soil capacity to suppress the soil borne pathogen in soybean [5], decreased in sensitive soil quality parameters in cotton [6] and yet had been reported to reduce microbial diversity significantly, decreasing the fertility of soil in wheat [7] and lower the genetic diversity level and simplex community structure in peanut [8]. However, by the end of 2013, China had 130 Mha of arable land, of which about 124 Mha was planted continuously [9], and provided great potential to increase production.…”

“…The soil microbial composition respond to agricultural managements [12] and land use [15] and so on, in the meantime, any change they experience are likely reflecting in the functional integrity of soil [16]. The bacterial communities differed between rotation and continuous cropping of corn [17], wheat [16], and peanut [8] and so on. The bacterial community composition was influenced by plant production [7], soil pH [18,19], soil water, soil organic matter and soil C/N [20] and soil enzyme activities [21] and the community composition of fungi, especially the arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi, was influenced by rotation of plants [22] and soil parameters more than site [23].…”

And, previous studies reported the main factors of soil microbial composition are plot site [24], land management [16], farming system [7,17], soil physicochemical parameters [25,26], and cover crops [8].…”
