Tridge summary
The environmental and agroclimatic conditions of a crop have a significant impact on the plants and the microbial communities that coexist with them. This has been demonstrated by researchers from the Zaidín Experimental Station (EEZ-CSIC), in collaboration with the Institute of Sustainable Agriculture (IAS-CSIC) and the University of Jaén, who have detailed, for the first time, the relationships established between the expression of genes in the root system of the olive tree and the microbial communities associated with it. The study focuses on two groups of olive trees grown on a farm located in the world bank of olive germplasm in the Ifapa of Córdoba. The research team has observed that both groups have a very different microbial profile inhabiting the interior of their roots. This divergence correlates with differences in gene expression profiles between the two groups. They emphasize that "many of these genes are related to a protective role in response to stress”.
