Abstracts |
The diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) of Sophora flavescens was studied in the prefecture-level cities of Changzhi and Jincheng in Shanxi Province, China, based on their relationship to the soil environment and elevation. Rhizosphere soils were investigated by Illumina MiSeq technology. In total, 220 AMF operational taxonomic units were detected, representing eight families and 14 genera. Glomus, Septoglomus, Rhizophagus, Kamienskia and Sclerocystis were the dominant AMF genera in the root zone of S. flavescens. In addition, the content of glomalin-related soil proteins was measured to assess AMF biomass. Soil type determined the distribution of AMF communities in S. flavescens field soils, and this effect was attributed to soil properties related to total nitrogen, available phosphorus concentration, invertase, soil organic matter and urease. Our results support the hypothesis that concentrations of soil chemicals and host plant can exert a selective effect on the composition of the AMF population in the soil surrounding S. flavescens. |
