Abstract
The rhizosphere is where crucial processes for the productivity of viticultural systems occur. The composition of the bacterial communities associated with the rhizosphere of grapevines is known to depend on plant genotype. However, the genotype of grafted grapevines differs between scion and rootstock; the role of each genotype is unclear. To untangle the effect of scion and rootstock, the rRNA (V4-V5 region of 16S rRNA) extracted from the rhizosphere of the grape varieties Riesling and Mueller-Thurgau ungrafted vs grafted on different rootstocks was sequenced. The bioinformatic analysis with tools designed to be robust for compositional data showed that the investigated rootstocks or scions or combinations, respectively, recruited bacterial communities with distinguishable traits. Statistical differences were revealed between ungrafted Riesling vs Mueller-Thurgau, between grafted Riesling vs ungrafted Riesling, and between ungrafted Mueller-Thurgau vs grafted Mueller-Thurgau. Thus, confirming the role of scion and rootstock genotype as a driver of the structure and composition of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of grapevines.
