Abstract
Plant domestication was a pivotal accomplishment in human history, which led to a reduction in genetic diversity of crop species; however, there was less research focus on how this reduced genetic diversity of crops in affecting rhizosphere microbial communities during crop domestication process. Here, we used high-throughput sequencing to explore the different effects of crops domestication on rhizosphere microbial community structure of rice (Oryza sativa L. and Oryza rufipogon Griff.) and soybean (Glycine max L. and Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc.). Results indicated that rhizosphere fungal communities are more strongly influenced by crop domestication than bacterial communities. There was a stronger relationship for fungi and bacteria in the cultivated crops than in the wild relatives. Results also showed that the wild varieties had a higher abundance of beneficial symbionts and a lower abundance of pathogens comparing with the cultivated varieties. There was a similar tendency for both rice and soybean in rhizosphere microbial communities by comparing wild crops and their cultivated varieties. In conclusion, crop domestication had a stronger effect on the fungal communities than on the bacterial communities and had improved the microbial relationship in rhizosphere of cultivated crops.
