Abstract

In this study, we investigated the interplay between the spermosphere inoculum, host plant physiology, and endophytic compartment (EC) microbial community. Using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing of root, stem, and leaf endophytic compartment communities, we established a baseline microbiome for Nicotiana sp. Phenotypic differences were observed due to the addition of some bacterial inoculants, correlated with endogenous auxin loads using transgenic plants expressing the auxin reporter pB-GFP::P87. When applied as spermosphere inoculants, select bacteria were found to create reproducible variation within the root EC microbiome and, more systematically, the host plant physiology. Our findings support the assertion that the spermosphere of plants is a zone that can influence the EC microbiome when applied in a greenhouse setting.
