Summary: The unique climatic conditions in Xinjiang region support rich melon and fruit resources, providing ample nutrients for yeast survival. Yeast diversity and strain resources are promoted by extreme climatic conditions and diverse habitats. There are differences in yeast diversity and community structure in the rhizosphere soil of Hami melon orchard in the three regions of Xinjiang, driven by factors such as precipitation, humidity, solar radiation intensity, conductivity, total phosphorus, and total potassium.

Summary: The study revealed that root rot generally increased the diversity of the pea root-associated microbiome and altered the community structure and relative abundance of key taxa. Healthy samples were associated with a higher relative abundance of Rhizobium, Olpidium and Mortierella, while diseased samples had more indicator genera and taxa exclusively detected in the diseased core microbiome.

Summary: This study used high-throughput sequencing to analyze the soil microbial community of the endangered plant Cathaya argyrophylla in Hunan Province, China. Soil properties were found to be the main factors influencing the bacterial and fungal communities, with nitrogen being the main driver of changes in the microbial communities. Predicting the metabolic capacities of the microbial communities identified functional characteristics and provided a scientific basis for selecting rhizosphere microorganisms suitable for vegetation restoration and reconstruction.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanisms of continuous cropping obstacles in Lilium brownii by studying different planting patterns and soil microbiome compositions. The results showed that consecutive monoculture of L. brownii decreased soil bacterial diversity and abundance, while increasing soil fungal diversity and abundance. The relationship between planting patterns of L. brownii and soil microbiome composition was analyzed to provide a theoretical basis for screening new biological agents to alleviate continuous cropping obstacles.

Summary: This study assessed the efficiency of long-read high throughput sequencing (HTS) for taxonomic identification of fungal specimens and found that PacBio HTS had a higher success rate and lower cost compared to Sanger sequencing. It also enabled the detection of gene polymorphism within the specimens, providing crucial information for species delimitation and population-level studies.

Summary: Soil microbes are important for microbial circulation and energy flow in ecosystems. The nutrient content and enzyme activity were analyzed, and high-throughput sequencing technology was used to study the rhizosphere soil microbial community in Rhododendron pudingense under different karst microhabitats. The results showed that microbial diversity did not differ significantly among microhabitats, but species composition varied between them, indicating soil heterogeneity in karst microhabitats.

Summary: In garlic cultivation, continuous cropping obstacles result in changes in soil physicochemical properties, enzyme activities, and microbial communities. The enrichment of plant pathogens and the depletion of plant growth promoting fungi may contribute to the poor growth of garlic in the cropping obstacle soil.

Summary: High-throughput DNA sequencing has revolutionized biodiversity research in mycology, with over 200 studies generating 250 million sequences of the mycological marker ITS2. The total estimated extant fungal diversity is 6.28 million taxa, with Ascomycota and Basidiomycota dominating. Soil and litter have the highest alpha diversity of fungi, while lichens and plant tissues have the highest proportion of unknown species.

Summary: The application of herbicides remains the most effective and accepted method to protect plants from weeds, but it has led to environmental pollution. Research on the toxicity of FLC has increased in recent years, with a focus on its impact on soil microorganisms. The study found significant differences in fungal community and composition between LS and HS samples impacted by FLC in potato growing areas.
