RESUMO
Crop rotation and other tillage systems can affect soil microbial communities and functions. Few studies have reported the response of soil spatial microbial communities to rotation under drought stress. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to explore the dynamic changes of the soil space microbial community under different drought stress-rotation patterns. In this study, two water treatments were set up, control W1 (mass water content 25%-28%), and drought W2 (mass water content 9%-12%). Four crop rotation patterns were set in each water content, spring wheat continuous (R1), spring wheat-potato (R2), spring wheat-potato-rape (R3) and spring wheat-rape (R4), for a total of eight treatments (W1R1, W1R2, W1R3, W1R4, W2R1, W2R2, W2R3, W2R4). Endosphere, rhizosphere and bulk soil of spring wheat in each treatment were collected, and root space microbial community data were generated. The soil microbial community changed under different treatments and their relationship with soil factors were analyzed using a co-occurrence network, mantel test, and other methods. The results revealed that the alpha diversity of microorganisms in the rhizosphere and bulk soil did not differ significantly, but it was significantly greater than in the endosphere. The bacteria community structure was more stable, fungi alpha-diversity significant changes (p < 0.05), that were more sensitive to the response of various treatments than bacteria. The co-occurrence network between fungal species was stable under rotation patterns (R2, R3, R4), while the community stability was poor under continuous cropping pattern (R1), and interactions were strengthened. Soil organic matter (SOM), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), and pH value were the most important factors dominating the bacteria community structural changed in the endosphere, rhizosphere, and bulk soil. The dominant factor that affected the fungal community structural changed in the endosphere, rhizosphere, and bulk soil was SOM. Therefore, we conclude that soil microbial community changes under the drought stress-rotation patterns are mainly influenced by soil SOM and microbial biomass content.
RESUMO
KEY MESSAGE: We developed the ZDX1 high-throughput functional soybean array for high accuracy evaluation and selection of both parents and progeny, which can greatly accelerate soybean breeding. Microarray technology facilitates rapid, accurate, and economical genotyping. Here, using resequencing data from 2214 representative soybean accessions, we developed the high-throughput functional array ZDX1, containing 158,959 SNPs, covering 90.92% of soybean genes and sites related to important traits. By application of the array, a total of 817 accessions were genotyped, including three subpopulations of candidate parental lines, parental lines and their progeny from practical breeding. The fixed SNPs were identified in progeny, indicating artificial selection during the breeding process. By identifying functional sites of target traits, novel soybean cyst nematode-resistant progeny and maturity-related novel sources were identified by allele combinations, demonstrating that functional sites provide an efficient method for the rapid screening of desirable traits or gene sources. Notably, we found that the breeding index (BI) was a good indicator for progeny selection. Superior progeny were derived from the combination of distantly related parents, with at least one parent having a higher BI. Furthermore, new combinations based on good performance were proposed for further breeding after excluding redundant and closely related parents. Genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) analysis was the best analysis method and achieved the highest accuracy in predicting four traits when comparing SNPs in genic regions rather than whole genomic or intergenic SNPs. The prediction accuracy was improved by 32.1% by using progeny to expand the training population. Collectively, a versatile assay demonstrated that the functional ZDX1 array provided efficient information for the design and optimization of a breeding pipeline for accelerated soybean breeding.
