Populus_Rhizosphere_Genotype_SoilOrigin_Exp2_454 Targeted Locus (Loci)
Two experiments were conducted to decouple the effect of host genotype and soil origin on the assembly of rhizosphere communities on Populus. In the first experiment 4 genotypes of Populus deltoides were planted into a common soil and grown for 5 months. In the second experiment a single Populus deltoides genotype was grown in soils originating from 8 locations along the Caney Fork River. Roots were washed after plants were harvested and the fungal and bacterial communities were sequenced using 454 amplicon pyrosequencing. Sequences for the 16S, 18S, 28S, and ITS rDNA were produced and deposited here.
