Outline of Research at the Start

鉄欠乏土壌を対象とした現地調査とサンプリングを行い、本研究室で最適化したDNA抽出プロトコルを適用する。抽出DNAに対し、細菌16S rRNA領域、および真菌ITS領域のDNAメタバーコーディングを行い、日本の鉄欠乏土壌における微生物叢を解明する。そのうえで、群集生態学的な分析を実施し、鉄欠乏土壌以外の土地との間での比較分析を行う。植物根内に共生する微生物群集についても、随時分析を行う。さらに、土壌化学分析を並行して実施し、土壌生態系における物理化学性と生物性の間にかる関係性を探る。

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

To finalize the research project, we have done the following experiments and analyses: 1) Experimental inoculation of endophytic fungi on model plant species: 2) Finalization of the tests for calibrating the necessary condition to successfully achieve stable isotope tracing techniques: these tests allowed us to characterize the necessary conditions to achieve measurable amounts of stable isotope tracer incorporated in different biomarkers for fungi and in plant biomass: 3) Carrying an in vitro experiment to test competition dynamics between different root endophytic fungi and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi during nitrogen and carbon exchange with a model plant: this experiment allowed us to understand how endophytic fungi that carried similar function to AMF could modify the trading feature of carbon and nitrogen exchange in the AMF-plant symbiosis: 4) Carrying a pot experiment to validate the in vitro results: this experiment allowed us to generalize the findings obtained in in vitro conditions to soil-grown plants: 5) Transcriptomic analyses (RNA sequencing) of the model plant specimens used for the inoculation experiments of endophytic fungi. 6) In-silico analyses of the RNA-sequencing datasets mentioned above.
