Summary: In this study, the effects of tree age on the community structure and dominant genus of endophytic rhizosphere bacteria in apple were investigated. The results showed that with increasing tree age, the number of different ASVs in the endophytic bacteria decreased, but no significant changes were observed in the alpha diversity. The relative abundance of Actinobacteria increased at the phyla level, while Proteobateria decreased. At the genus level, there were changes in the relative abundance of different genera. The reduced relative abundance of endophytic rhizosphere bacteria may contribute to tree senescence. This study provides valuable insights into plant-microbe interactions.

Summary: Benefiting from high-throughput sequencing, research on microbiota has advanced, but there are limitations in amplicon sequencing. This study evaluates the reproducibility of microbiota in deep-sea sediments and finds variations in technical replicates. Despite these variations, amplicon sequencing is still a powerful tool for characterizing microbial diversity.

Summary: This study identified two plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria from the roots of ice plants, which significantly promoted the growth of ice plants and affected the metabolome. The selected strains alleviated the effects of salt stress on ice plants, showing potential for developing microbe-assisted soil phytoremediation strategies using Mesembryanthemum species.

Summary: In this study, the genome of Wilsonomyces carpophilus was analyzed, revealing a complex pathogenicity mechanism and a set of specific proteins. Different isolates of the pathogen showed significant morphological variation, but no significant differences in pathogenicity. This study is important for understanding the host-pathogen interaction mechanism.

Summary: The composition and diversity of bacterial endosymbionts in Bemisia tabaci populations infesting cassava crops in Uganda changed over time, with higher bacterial diversity in samples collected in 1997 compared to 2017. This coincided with the occurrence of super-abundant cassava-whitefly populations.

Summary: The diversity and community composition of AMF in roots and rhizosphere soil of dominant perennial grasses were found to change in response to grazing intensity. Different virtual taxa of AMF showed varying responses along the grazing gradient, with Glomeraceae being the most abundant family. Grazing preference by sheep did not explain much of the variation in AMF diversity, but the two grass species exhibited different AMF community composition in their roots and rhizosphere soils. Overall, long-term grazing intensity may have favored disturbance-tolerant AMF taxa.

Summary: This study investigated the microbial composition of Robinia pseudoacacia 'Hongsen' using high-throughput sequencing and culture-dependent methods. The results revealed a diverse endophytic bacterial community in R. pseudoacacia 'Hongsen', with Bacillus being the most prevalent genus. High-throughput sequencing also showed significant differences in the population and composition of soil bacteria in the rhizosphere compared to endophytic bacteria in the plant.

Summary: This study investigated the microbiota assembly and its relationship with secondary metabolite accumulation in Schisandraceae plants. The results showed that these plants had similar and unique endophytic microbial communities compared to soil microorganisms. Functions associated with metabolic processing were found to be related to the host. Additionally, the accumulation of secondary metabolites was closely related to the endophytic community composition.

Summary: This study utilized SMRT technology to obtain transcriptome data of N. sibirica under salt treatment for the first time, resulting in 234,508 CCSs and 49,240 non-redundant transcripts. Analysis revealed numerous SSRs, LncRNAs, and CDSs, confirming the reliability and effectiveness of gene prediction using full-length transcripts obtained through SMRT technology. This research data provides more reliable and accurate information for further analysis of the regulatory network and molecular mechanisms in N. sibirica under salt stress.

Summary: We studied the rhizosphere microenvironment of Rhododendron mucronulatum in Beijing's Yunmeng Mountain National Forest Park and found significant changes in soil physicochemical properties and enzyme activities. The rhizosphere bacterial diversity was higher in the flowering period and was not influenced by elevation. Rhizomicrobium was the dominant genus in both periods, but its abundance decreased in the deciduous period, potentially influencing the rhizosphere bacterial community.

Summary: Metallophytes microbiota play a crucial role in plant growth and heavy metal stress resistance. The diversity and richness of rhizosphere bacterial communities of Commelina communis are significantly higher than endosphere communities, with soil copper content being a major driver in shaping the bacterial community structure. Pseudomonas and Sphingomonas are predominant genera in endophytic and rhizospheric bacterial communities in highly copper-contaminated soils, potentially enhancing copper tolerance in plants.
