Abstract
We investigated the effects of field pea (Pisum sativum)-based crop rotations on endophytic bacteria in roots and surrounding soil of cereal and oilseed crops. Barley (Hordeum vulgare), wheat (Triticum aestivum) and canola (Brassica rapa) were each grown (a) following peas inoculated with Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viceae, (b) following uninoculated peas or (c) in monoculture. At flagleaf (cereal) or flowering (canola) growth stage, populations of soil-extract agar (SEA)-culturable bacteria ranged from log 10 7.12 to log 10 7.82 cells g -1 soil dry weight in the bulk soil, log 10 7.15 to log 10 8.12 cells g -1 soil in the rhizosphere, log 10 7.77 to log 10 10.39 cells g -1 root dry matter (DM) on the rhizoplane, and log 10 5.56 to log 10 7.63 cells g -1 root DM in root interiors (endophytic bacteria). Differences between treatments in populations and functional diversity of bacteria depended on where the bacteria were sampled in the continuum from bulk soil to root interiors. This affected correlations with crop N and yield because these crop parameters were lowest in monoculture. Thus, populations of endophytic bacteria and functional diversity of rhizospheric bacteria were negatively correlated with crop N accumulation and yields. However, the diversities of endophytic and bulk soil bacteria were positively correlated with crop N and yields. Key words: Community-level physiological profile, crop rotation, substrates, endophytic bacteria, microbial functional diversity, rhizosphere
