Global studies of microbial diversity in rhizosphere microbiota. root metagenome

The rhizosphere microbiota are of vital importance to plant growth and health in terrestrial ecosystems. There have been extensive studies aiming to identify the microbial communities as well as their relationship with host plants in different soil types. In the present study, we employed a high-throughput amplicon sequencing survey of the bacterial 16S rRNA and fungal ITS genes to investigate the structure of rhizosphere microbiota prosperous at the root of Dangshan Su pear growing in sandy soil and clay soil.
