Native microbial inoculants, sourced from salinity-adapted soils, offer a potential avenue for sustainable agricultural adaptation. Here, we evaluated the effects of saline prairie-derived, AMF-enriched microbial inoculants on the growth of barley (Hordeum vulgare) cultivars under a salinity gradient. Greenhouse trials demonstrated that salinity was the dominant constraint on biomass production, but inoculant identity and genotype significantly influenced plant performance and microbial assembly. Inoculant effects on shoot biomass were heterogeneous, with neutral or negative outcomes predominating under saline conditions. Amplicon sequencing of bacterial, fungal, oomycete, and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AMF) communities revealed that salinity strongly restructured microbial diversity and composition, reducing bacterial and fungal evenness. Genotype and inoculant identity shaped fungal communities, while oomycete responses depended on specific plant-microbe pairings. Model selection confirmed that shoot biomass was primarily explained by salinity, with additional contributions from barley genotype, inoculant identity, and fungal evenness. These results demonstrate that microbial community restructuring under salinity stress outweighs direct benefits of native microbial inoculation, and emphasize that successful microbial interventions in salt-affected soils must account for genotype-specific compatibility and stress-driven community dynamics, rather than assuming universal benefits.</p>","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145910813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Network analysis revealed ESR1 as a central hub gene forming significant interactions with RUNX2, HDAC2, and BCL2, indicating its vital role in muscle development and metabolism. The MTOR signaling pathway emerged as another crucial hub, connecting with DEPDC5 and SESN1, suggesting its importance in nutrient sensing and metabolic regulation for production traits.
