Article Synopsis
- Agricultural intensification negatively impacts biodiversity, particularly concerning the microbial communities that play crucial roles in plant nutrition and protection.
- Our study compared wheat fields under organic and conventional farming, revealing that organic farming led to greater microbial diversity and richness, while hedgerows had varying effects depending on the type of microorganism.
- Fungal communities were more influenced by conditions within the fields, showing higher diversity near edges, whereas bacterial communities were more affected by the broader landscape context.
Differentiation of endospheric microbiota in ancient and modern wheat cultivar roots.
Plant Environ Interact
October 2021
Modern plant breeding and agrosystems artificialization could have altered plants' ability to filter and recruit beneficial microorganisms in its microbiota. Thus, compared to modern cultivars, we hypothesized that root-endosphere microbiota in modern wheat cultivars are less resistant to colonization by fungi and bacteria and thus more susceptible to also recruit more pathogens. We used an in-field experimental design including six wheat varieties (three ancient vs.
