These threats, coupled with population growth and climatic changes, compel us to search for innovative agroecological solutions. Prebiotics, a type of soil biostimulant, are used to enhance soil conditions and plant growth and may play a role in carbon (C) sequestration. Two commercial prebiotics, K1® and NUTRIGEO L® (referred to as SPK and SPN, respectively), were assessed for their effects on agricultural soil cultivated with Zea mays L., compared to untreated soil or control (SP). Analyses were performed at two harvesting dates: three weeks (D1) and ten weeks (D2) after the application of prebiotics. Plant growth parameters and soil characteristics were measured, focusing on soil organic matter, soil bacterial and fungal communities, and plant root mycorrhization. Regarding physicochemical parameters, both prebiotic treatments increased soil electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, and soluble phosphorus (P) while decreasing nitrates. Meanwhile, the SPN treatment was distinct in elevating specific cationic minerals, such as calcium (Ca) and boron (B), at D2. At the microbial level, each prebiotic induced a unique shift in the indigenous bacterial and fungal communities’ abundance and diversity, evident at D2. Simultaneously, specific microbial taxa were recruited by each prebiotic treatment, such as Caulobacter , Sphingobium , and Massilia from bacteria and Mortierella globalpina and Schizothecium carpinicola from fungi in SPK as well as Chitinophaga , Neobacillus , and Rhizomicrobium from bacteria and Sordariomycetes and Mortierella minutissima from fungi in SPN. These biomarkers were identified as (a) saprotrophs, (b) plant growth-promoting bacteria and fungi, (c) endohyphal bacteria, and (d) endophytic and symbiotic microbiota. This result was reflected in the increase in glomalin content and mycorrhization rate in the treated soils, especially by SPN. We observed that these effects led to an increase in plant biomass (shoots by 19% and 22.8% and roots by 47.8% and 35.7% dry weights for SPK and SPN, respectively) and contributed to an increase in soil C content (organic C by 8.4% and total C by 8.9%), particularly with SPN treatment. In light of these findings, the use of prebiotics ten weeks after application not only increased plant growth by improving soil characteristics and shaping its native microbial community but also demonstrated the potential to enhance C sequestration.","PeriodicalId":49023,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135267027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drought is a major abiotic stress, and fungal pathogens characterize a main biotic stress challenge faced by plants and impact negatively on plant development and productivity. We propose that foliar application of nitric oxide (NO) donors can have positive effects on the induction of tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress on groundnut plants. This investigation was carried out to study the changes in growth, some biochemical aspects, and yield and quality of groundnut plants as well as induction of resistance to Cercospora leaf spot disease in response to nitric oxide (NO) donors, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), and arginine (Arg) (2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mM) under two water irrigation levels 100% and 75% of water irrigation requirements (WIR), in two field experiments through two successive growing seasons of 2021 and 2022. Decreasing irrigation water significantly reduced shoot length, branches numberplant -1 , shoot fresh and dry weight, photosynthetic pigments components, endogenous indole acetic acid (IAA) contents, and yield components. Furthermore, root fresh and dry weight, phenols, total soluble sugars (TSS), proline contents, and the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and lipid peroxidation of groundnut leaves increased significantly. Contrarily, foliar application with Arg and SNP alleviated the negative influences of drought on growth and productivity of groundnut plants via enhancing photosynthetic pigments, IAA, phenolic compounds, TSS, and proline contents. Additionally, SNP and Arg significantly decreased oxidative damage through decreasing H 2 O 2 and lipid peroxidation by the induction of antioxidant enzymes. Remarkably, the increase of drought level led to a reduction in Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) disease with the use of high concentrations of both Arg and SNP. Interestingly, in both stressed and unstressed plants, SNP treatment at 7.5 mM was the most effective in reducing the incidence and severity of disease, while Arg at 2.5 mM recorded the lowest reduction compared to other treatments. In conclusion, foliar treatment of either SNP or Arg is a profound effect on modulating the drought stress and induction of resistance to Cercospora leaf spot disease of groundnut plants throughout regulating physiological and biochemical processes associated with photosynthesis and oxidative responses.","PeriodicalId":49023,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135616784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
