Soil environmental factors shape the rhizosphere arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in South African indigenous legumes (Fabaceae)

Abstract: Abstract. Alimi AA, Adeleke R, Moteetee A. 2021. Soil environmental factors shape the rhizosphere arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in South African indigenous legumes (Fabaceae).Biodiversitas 22:2466-2476.The crucial role played by arbuscular mycorrhizalfungi (AMF) in the nutritional adaptation of plants tonutrient-deficientsoils is well recognized. However, little is known about the diversity of AM fungal communities in the rhizosphere of indigenous legumes of South Africa. This study presents the fi… Show more

“…Only the genus Glomus was found in this study, which could be due to the higher adaptability of the Glomus [22]. This is in agreement with the study by Tuheteru et al [21] who reported that Glomus was the dominant AM fungi in the soil of the gold mining area in Southeast Sulawesi, and Alimi et al [22] in the grassland in South Africa.…”

“…The positive interactions involve the nutrient acquisition, biological control of root pathogens, improvement of plant tolerance to abiotic stresses, and soil fertility. AMF communities influence the physicochemical environment of the rhizosphere and control various soil microbial interactions (Alimi et al, 2021 ). Mycorrhization directly affects the quantity and quality of root exudates.…”

“…In the soil from the rhizosphere of upland rice, Acaulospora, Gigaspora, and Glomus spores were found for all treatments, as shown in Figure 2. The three AMF genera were often dominant in the soil of the rhizosphere of upland rice and other plants (Olubode et al 2020;Alimi et al 2021;Baki et al 2021). Sporulation and germination of AMF spores were colonized and then infected upland rice roots, as indicated by the presence of external hyphae, internal hyphae, vesicles, arbuscles, and spores (Campo et al 2020).…”
