Abstract
Diphenyl ether herbicides are extensively utilized in agricultural systems, but their residues threaten the health of sensitive rotation crops. Functional microbial strains can degrade diphenyl ether herbicides in the rhizosphere of crops, facilitating the restoration of a healthy agricultural environment. However, the interplay between microorganisms and plants in diphenyl ether herbicides degradation remains unclear. Thus, the herbicide-degrading strain Bacillus sp. Za and the sensitive crop, maize, were employed to uncover the interaction mechanism. The degradation of diphenyl ether herbicides by strain Bacillus sp. Za was promoted by root exudates. The strain induced root exudate re-secretion in diphenyl ether herbicide-polluted maize. We further showed that root exudates enhanced the rhizosphere colonization and the biofilm biomass of strain Za, augmenting its capacity to degrade diphenyl ether herbicide. Root exudates regulated gene fliZ, which is pivotal in biofilm formation. Wild-type strain Za significantly reduced herbicide toxicity to maize compared to the ZaΔfliZ mutant. Moreover, root exudates promoted strain Za growth and chemotaxis, which was related to biofilm formation. This mutualistic relationship between the microorganisms and the plants demonstrates the significance of plant-microbe interactions in shaping diphenyl ether herbicide degradation in rhizosphere soils.

The interplay of homology-directed repair pathways in the repair of zebularine-induced DNA-protein crosslinks in Arabidopsis. THE PLANT JOURNAL : FOR CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2024. [PMID: 38824612 DOI: 10.1111/tpj.16863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) are highly toxic DNA lesions represented by proteins covalently bound to the DNA. Persisting DPCs interfere with fundamental genetic processes such as DNA replication and transcription. Cytidine analog zebularine (ZEB) has been shown to crosslink DNA METHYLTRANSFERASE1 (MET1). Recently, we uncovered a critical role of the SMC5/6-mediated SUMOylation in the repair of DPCs. In an ongoing genetic screen, we identified two additional candidates, HYPERSENSITIVE TO ZEBULARINE 2 and 3, that were mapped to REGULATOR OF TELOMERE ELONGATION 1 (RTEL1) and polymerase TEBICHI (TEB), respectively. By monitoring the growth of hze2 and hze3 plants in response to zebularine, we show the importance of homologous recombination (HR) factor RTEL1 and microhomology-mediated end-joining (MMEJ) polymerase TEB in the repair of MET1-DPCs. Moreover, genetic interaction and sensitivity assays showed the interdependency of SMC5/6 complex, HR, and MMEJ in the homology-directed repair of MET1-DPCs in Arabidopsis. Altogether, we provide evidence that MET1-DPC repair in plants is more complex than originally expected.

Root-associated bacteria strengthen their community stability against disturbance of antibiotics on structure and functions. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133317.

Abstract
Antibiotics affect bacterial community structure and functions in soil. However, the response and adaptation of root-associated bacterial communities to antibiotic stress remains poorly understood. Here, rhizobox experiments were conducted with maize (Zea mays L.) upon exposure to antibiotics ciprofloxacin or tetracycline. High-throughput sequencing analysis of bacterial community and quantitative PCR analysis of nitrogen cycling genes show that ciprofloxacin and tetracycline significantly shift bacterial community structure in bulk soil, whereas plant host may mitigate the disturbances of antibiotics on bacterial communities in root-associated niches (i.e., rhizosphere and rhizoplane) through the community stabilization. Deterministic assembly, microbial interaction, and keystone species (e.g., Rhizobium and Massilia) of root-associated bacterial communities benefit the community stability compared with those in bulk soil. Meanwhile, the rhizosphere increases antibiotic dissipation, potentially reducing the impacts of antibiotics on root-associated bacterial communities. Furthermore, rhizospheric effects deriving from root exudates alleviate the impacts of antibiotics on the nitrogen cycle (i.e., nitrification, organic nitrogen conversion and denitrification) as confirmed by functional gene quantification, which is largely attributed to the bacterial community stability in rhizosphere. The present study enhances the understanding on the response and adaptation of root-associated bacterial community to antibiotic pollution.

Abstract
Soil-beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere play important roles in improving plant growth and health. Root exudates play key roles in plant-microbe interactions and rhizobacterial colonization. This review describes the factors influencing the dynamic interactions between root exudates and the soil microbiome in the rhizosphere, including plant genotype, plant development, and environmental abiotic and biotic factors. We also discuss the roles of specific metabolic mechanisms, regulators, and signals of beneficial soil bacteria in terms of colonization ability. We highlight the latest research progress on the roles of root exudates in regulating beneficial rhizobacterial colonization. Organic acids, amino acids, sugars, sugar alcohols, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, volatiles, and other secondary metabolites are discussed in detail. Finally, we propose future research objectives that will help us better understand the role of root exudates in root colonization by rhizobacteria and promote the sustainable development of agriculture and forestry.

Abstract
Plants have developed an adaptive strategy for coping with biotic or abiotic stress by recruiting specific microorganisms from the soil pool. Recent studies have shown that the foliar spraying of pesticides causes oxidative stress in plants and leads to changes in the rhizosphere microbiota, but the mechanisms by which these microbiota change and rebuild remain unclear. Herein, we provide for the first-time concrete evidence that rice plants respond to the stress of application of the insecticide chlorpyrifos (CP) by enhancing the release of amino acids, lipids, and nucleotides in root exudates, leading to a shift in rhizosphere bacterial community composition and a strong enrichment of the genus Sphingomonas sp. In order to investigate the underlying mechanisms, we isolated a Sphingomonas representative isolate and demonstrated that it is both attracted by and able to consume linolenic acid, one of the root exudates overproduced after pesticide application. We further show that this strain selectively colonizes roots of treated plants and alleviates pesticide stress by degrading CP and releasing plant-beneficial metabolites. These results indicate a feedback loop between plants and their associated microbiota allowing to respond to pesticide-induced stress.

Abstract
Background Rhizosphere bacteria play important roles in plant growth and secondary metabolite accumulation. Moreover, only with favorable production areas and desirable germplasm can high-yield and high-quality medicinal materials be produced. However, whether origin and germplasm indirectly affect the yield and quality of Angelica dahurica var. formosana through rhizosphere bacterial effects are not known. Methods In this study, a high-throughput sequencing strategy was used to explore the relationship between the rhizosphere bacterial community and the cultivation of A. dahurica var. formosana from different production areas and germplasm for the first time. Results (1) Proteobacteria was the dominant bacterial phylum in the rhizosphere soil of A. dahurica var. formosana, and these bacteria were stable and conserved to a certain extent. (2) High abundance of Proteobacteria was an important rhizospheric indicator of high yield, and high abundance of Firmicutes was an important indicator of high quality. Proteobacteria and Firmicutes might have an important relationship with the yield and quality of A. dahurica var. formosana, respectively. (3) PCoA cluster analysis demonstrated that both production area and germplasm affected the bacterial community structure in the rhizosphere of A. dahurica var. formosana to a certain extent, and production area had the greatest effect. In addition to available potassium, the rhizosphere soil nutrient levels of different production areas strongly affected the bacterial diversity and community. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the exploitation and utilization of rhizosphere microbial resources of A. dahurica var. formosana and offer a novel approach for increasing the yield and quality of this crop.

Abstract
Plant-microbe interactions have been effectively used in phytoremediation to reduce agrochemical contamination of crops and soils, but little information is available regarding the general effect of such association on rhizosphere soil homeostasis. In this study, we immobilized Stenotrophomonas pavanii DJL-M3, a carbendazim (CBZ)-degrading endophyte, in rice husk-derived biochar to control fungicide residue in the rice microenvironment. The influence of biochar inoculated with strain DJL-M3 on rhizobacterial communities was also investigated, including activity and fundamental function predictions. An adsorption kinetics test showed that strain DJL-M3 slowed the adsorption rate slightly without sacrificing the adsorption capacity of rice-husk biochar on CBZ. Immobilization in biochar helped S. pavanii DJL-M3 to establish an ecological niche in rhizosphere soils. This process significantly reduced CBZ levels in rice and rhizosphere soil while maintaining stable heterotrophic microbial respiration and carbon (C) metabolic activity. Soil amendment with the strain DJL-M3-biochar composite resulted in relatively little disturbance of fundamental soil functions, such as nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) cycling, which explained the better plant growth and higher soil fertility observed with CBZ contamination. Overall, the combination of biochar and S. pavanii DJL-M3 demonstrated the potential to safeguard the microbiological environment of rice.

Abstract
Small molecular organic acids (SMOAs) in root exudates are critical for plant-microbe interaction, especially under environmental stresses. However, the dominant organic acids driving the process and promoting the colonization are unclear. Here, using a target metabolomics, 20 main SMOAs of rice root exudates were identified and analyzed in control and 10 mg/L thiamethoxam-treated groups. The composition of these SMOAs differed significantly between the two treatments. Among which, malic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, and proline induced a chemotactic response, swimming ability, and biofilm formation of Enterobacter cloacae TMX-6 in a dose-dependent manner. The maximal chemotactic response of TMX-6 was induced by proline at 10 mg/L, and a strong chemotactic response was even observed at 0.01 mg/L. The recruitment assay confirmed that the addition of these four compounds promoted the colonization of TMX-6. The results provide insight for directional regulation of plant-microbe interactions for beneficial outcomes.

Abstract
Epoxiconazole (EPX) has a long half-life in soil and causes various toxicological effects in both the ecosystem and mammals. In this study, eight strains of bacteria capable of degrading EPX were isolated from pesticide-contaminated soil, with strain F1 showing the best effect. This strain was identified as Pseudomonas sp. by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and physiological-biochemical analyses. Our results indicated that strain F1 has a high capacity to degrade EPX, removing 92.1% of EPX within 6 days. The temperature and pH were the two most important environmental factors affecting EPX degradation, followed by substrate concentration and inoculum dose. In addition, strain F1 has a high capacity to promote EPX degradation in soils, with a lower t1/2 value (2.64 d) in F1-inoculated soil compared to the control (t1/2 = 96.3 d) without strain F1. The strain could efficiently colonize rhizosphere soil and enhance degradation of EPX, leading to a significant decrease in the accumulation and translocation of EPX in vegetables, thereby alleviating the effects of EPX-induced stress on plants. Moreover, we observed that strain F1-gfp was able to colonize the roots, stems and leaves of Brassica rapa var. chinensis. Such colonization may play a role in the efficient degradation of EPX within plants. To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate biodegradation of EPX in a soil-vegetable system using an EPX-degrading bacterium. This study indicates that strain F1 is a promising candidate for simultaneous bioremediation of soil contaminated with EPX and safe food production.

Mei L, Zhang N, Wei Q, Cao Y, Li D, Cui G. Alfalfa modified the effects of degraded black soil cultivated land on the soil microbial community. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:938187. [PMID: 36061796 PMCID: PMC9437459 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.938187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Legume alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is extensively planted to reduce chemical fertilizer input to the soil and remedy damaged fields. The soil mechanism of these effects is potentially related to the variations in alfalfa-mediated interactions of the soil microbial community. To understand the impact of planting alfalfa on the soil microbial community in degraded black soil cultivated land, a 4-year experiment was conducted in degraded black soil cultivated land. We assessed soil parameters and characterized the functional and compositional diversity of the microbial community by amplicon sequencing that targeted the 16S rDNA gene of bacteria and ITS of fungi in four systems under corn cultivation at the Harbin corn demonstration base (Heilongjiang, China): multiyear corn planting (more than 30 years, MC1); 2 years of alfalfa-corn rotation (OC); 3 years of alfalfa planting (TA); and 4 years of alfalfa planting (FA). It was found out that alfalfa led to changes in the alpha diversity of soil bacteria rather than in fungi in the degraded arable land. The abundance of the bacterial groups Gemmatimonadetes, Actinobacteria, Planctomycetes, and Chloroflexi was increased in OC, while Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria and the fungal group Glomeromycota were increased in TA and FA. OC, TA, and FA significantly increased the pH level but reduced soil electrical conductivity, but they had no impact on soil available nitrogen and soil available potassium at the 0-15 cm soil depth. However, with the years of alfalfa planting, soil available nitrogen and soil available potassium were reduced at the 15-30 cm soil depth. OC, TA, and FA significantly reduced the soil available phosphorus and soil total phosphorus at the 15-30 cm soil depth. There was no significant impact made on soil total nitrogen. FA significantly reduced the soil organic matter at the 15-30 cm soil depth. Planting alfalfa in degraded black soil cultivated land can reduce the salt content of the soil, and the nutrient content of soil planted with alfalfa without fertilization was equivalent to that of degraded corn cultivated land with annual fertilization. Besides, alfalfa recruited and increased contained taxa with the capacity to improve soil nutrient utilization and inhibit the harmful influences of pathogens for subsequent crops. Meanwhile, the planting of alfalfa can modify soil conditions by promoting the proliferation of specific beneficial microbiota groups.
