Interaction between Medicago truncatula and Pseudomonas fluorescens: evaluation of costs and benefits across an elevated atmospheric CO2.
10 pages; International audience; Soil microorganisms play a key role in both plants nutrition and health. Their relation with plant varies from mutualism to parasitism, according to the balance of costs and benefits for the two partners of the interaction. These interactions involved the liberation of plant organic compounds via rhizodeposition. Modification of atmospheric CO2 concentration may affect rhizodeposition and as a consequence trophic interactions that bind plants and microorganisms. Positive effect of elevated CO2 on plants are rather well known but consequences for micoorganisms and their interactions with plants are still poorly understood. A gnotobiotic system has been devel…
Fungal Community Development in Decomposing Fine Deadwood Is Largely Affected by Microclimate
Fine woody debris (FWD) represents the majority of the deadwood stock in managed forests and serves as an important biodiversity hotspot and refuge for many organisms, including deadwood fungi. Wood decomposition in forests, representing an important input of nutrients into forest soils, is mainly driven by fungal communities that undergo continuous changes during deadwood decomposition. However, while the assembly processes of fungal communities in long-lasting coarse woody debris have been repeatedly explored, similar information for the more ephemeral habitat of fine deadwood is missing. Here, we followed the fate of FWD of Fagus sylvatica and Abies alba in a Central European forest to d…
Soil microbial diversity effects on primary production and symbiotic interactions
SPEEAEcolDurGenoSolGEAPSI; The importance of telluric microorganisms linked together by trophic exchanges with plants, that sustain all ecosystems through primary production, is known. However, the role of soil microbial diversity for primary production remains controversial. A diversity decreasing was achieved, by inoculating a sterilized soil with serial dilutions of a suspension from the same non-sterilized soil, to determine the consequences of microbial diversity erosion on the growth and fitness of three plant species more or less dependent on symbionts, Medicago truncatula, Brachypodium distachyon and Arabidopsis thaliana. The results showed that the impact of microbial diversity dec…

Costs-benfits trade-off in the intercation between Medicago truncatula and Pseudomonas fluorescens C7R12 across atmospheric carbon dioxide modulation
The interactions between plants and soil microorganisms are mainly based on trophic relationships. The compounds exchanged represent cost for the organism produces them but a benefit for the one who receive those compounds. A mutualistic relation leads to stability in the cost-benefit balance resulting from a co-evolution between the two organisms. The cost corresponding for the release of carbon compounds by the plant would be offset by benefits in return corresponding for the activities of microorganisms that use them. We tested by an experimental way the effect of CO2 concentration on the interaction between M. truncatula and the bacterium P. fluorescens C7R12. The results allowed a best…
Etude des interactions plantes-microbes et microbes-microbes au sein de la rhizosphère, sous un aspect coûts-bénéfices, dans un contexte de variation environnementale
Understanding the interactions that bind plants and soil microorganisms is an essential step for the sustainable management of ecosystems, especially in agriculture. The ecosystem services resulting from such interactions include plant productivity which responds, in part, to the food requirements of the world's population and the regulation of biogeochemical cycles. These ecosystem services depend on trophic links between the two partners in the interaction and can be represented by a tradeoff between the costs and benefits for each partner. Plants, being autotrophic organisms or primary producers, are key organisms which introduce carbon into the ecosystem, through photosynthesis. Part of…
