Genomic content of wheat has a higher influence than plant domestication status on the ability to interact with Pseudomonas plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria
Résumé
Plant evolutionary history has had profound effects on belowground traits, which is likely to have impacted the ability to interact with microorganisms, but consequences on root colonization and gene expression by plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) remain poorly understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that wheat genomic content and domestication are key factors determining the capacity for PGPR interaction. Thus, 331 wheat representatives from eight Triticum or Aegilops species were inoculated under standardized conditions with the generalist PGPR Pseudomonas ogarae F113, using an autofluorescent reporter system for monitoring F113 colonization and expression of phl genes coding for the auxinic inducing signal 2,4‐diacetylphloroglucinol. The interaction with P. ogarae F113 was influenced by ploidy level, presence of genomes AA, BB, DD, and domestication. While root colonization was higher for hexaploid and tetraploid species, and phl expression level higher for hexaploid wheat, the diploid Ae. tauschii displayed higher phl induction rate (i.e., expression:colonisation ratio) on roots. However, a better potential of interaction with F113 (i.e., under non‐stress gnotobiotic conditions) did not translate, after seed inoculation, into better performance of wheat landraces in non‐sterile soil under drought. Overall, results showed that domestication and especially plant genomic content modulate the PGPR interaction potential of wheats.
