英文摘要 | Arid and semi-arid areas are facing increasingly severe water deficits that are being intensified by global climate changes. Microbes associated with plants native to arid regions provide valuable benefits to plants, especially in water-stressed environments. In this study, we used 16S rDNA metabarcoding analysis to examine the bacterial communities in the bulk soil, rhizosphere and root endosphere of the plant Malva sylvestris L. in Morocco, along a gradient of precipitation. We found that the rhizosphere of M. sylvestris did not show significant differences in beta-diversity compared to bulk soil, although, it did display an increased degree of alpha-diversity. The endosphere was largely dominated by the genus Rhizobium and displayed remarkable variation between plants, which could not be attributed to any of the variables observed in this study. Overall, the effects of precipitation level were relatively weak, which may be related to the intense drought in Morocco at the time of sampling. The dominance of Rhizobium in a non-leguminous plant is particularly noteworthy and may permit the utilization of this bacterial taxon to augment drought tolerance; additionally, the absence of any notable selection of the rhizosphere of M. sylvestris suggests that it is not significatively affecting its soil environment. Malva sylvestris, a widely distributed plant thriving in arid and semi-arid environments, harbours a substantial presence of nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria within its roots. The bacterial community in its rhizosphere showed no significant variance compared to the adjacent bulk soil, indicating minimal impact of M. sylvestris on its soil environment. image |
