Metagenomic study of the tomato rhizosphere soil microbiome: current state and prospect

Abstract

<abstract> <p>Plant microbiota has a variety of impacts on the plant. Some are beneficial, while some are pathogenic. This study discusses the general metagenomics procedures in processing plant-related metagenomes and focuses on the tomato plants' rhizosphere species. Metagenomics, associated with eventual DNA, is isolated from environmental samples and thus permits absolute microbial population identification. Meanwhile, the genetic content of the DNA sample obtained allows the functional capability identification and biochemical procedure of many microorganisms. This review reveals the recent utilization and application of the potential of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) in agriculture. It involves plant-associated microbiota, the factors driving their diversity, and plant metagenome to tackle current challenges experienced in food security. This review provides the newest methods for rapidly identifying the microbial communities inhabiting the rhizosphere soil of tomato plants.</p> </abstract>

Endosphere microbial communities and plant nutrient acquisition toward sustainable agriculture

“…Plant microbial community diversity refers to the variety and abundance of microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that interact with plant roots and leaves in the soil, rhizosphere, and phyllosphere [ 34 , 35 ]. Microbial communities survive in the endosphere and depend on their potential to inhabit and produce certain metabolites [ 8 ].…”

Genomic mechanisms of plant growth-promoting bacteria in the production of leguminous crops

“…Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) can likewise be produced by rhizobia and change photochemically (Lopez et al, 2019). Rhizobia has been reported to inhibit the growth of bacterial and fungal spoilage organisms affecting other crops, including soybean (Paravar et al, 2023), okra (Sharma, 2019), tomato (Adedayo et al, 2023a;Adedayo et al, 2023b), sunflower (Adeleke et al, 2021), Bambara groundnut (Ajilogba et al, 2022c), etc. Root exudates, including organic acid anions and phytosiderophores, are significant in the availability of minerals and their presence in agricultural soil (Wang et al, 2023c).…”
