International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges &<br />

Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad<br />

Methodology<br />

The total genomic DNA was isolated from 0.25 g soil sample using soil DNA isolation kit.<br />

Qubit 4.0 Fluorimeter was used to estimate the DNA concentration. V3-V4 region <strong>of</strong> 16S<br />

rRNA amplified using V3 forward primer and V4 reverse primer. The amplified product was<br />

checked on 2% agarose gel. NEB Next Ultra DNA library preparation kit was used for library<br />

preparation. The prepared libraries were sequenced in Illumina HiSeqplatform for 2x250bp<br />

read length. Raw sequence data was merged and filtered to get clean data. De novo chimeric<br />

sequences were detected using Vsearch and only non-chimeric sequence were further used.<br />

16S rRNA sequences were clustered into Operation Taxonomic Units (OTUs) at a similarity<br />

cut-<strong>of</strong>f value <strong>of</strong> 97% using the vsearch program (v2.11.1) and abundance <strong>of</strong> OTUs were<br />

recovered using v-search. OTUs were mapped at 97% sequence identity to an optimized<br />

version <strong>of</strong> the Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) database. Taxonomy was assigned to all<br />

identified OTUs using usearch program (v11.0.667). Sequence <strong>of</strong> OTUs were aligned using<br />

mafft (v7.407) and phylogenetic tree <strong>of</strong> identified OTUs was generated using fasttree (v<br />

2.1.10).<br />

Results<br />

Rhizo-microbiome <strong>of</strong> well-watered and drought stressed plants <strong>of</strong>maize was analyzed by<br />

sequencing V3-V4 region <strong>of</strong> the 16S rRNA gene. Differential abundance <strong>of</strong> bacterial classes<br />

was observed between well watered and drought stressed plants. Alpha Proteobacteria,<br />

Actinobacteria, Bacilli, Beta Proteobacteria, Gamma Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria GP6<br />

were 19.53 %, 10.98 %, 16.67 %, 5.05 %, 4.52 % and 3.81 % respectively in water stressed<br />

plants. In case <strong>of</strong> well watered plants, the classes <strong>of</strong> Alpha Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria,<br />

Bacilli, Beta Proteobacteria, Gamma Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria GP6 were 8.34 %,<br />

6.99 %, 42.09 %, 4.48 %, 3.57 % and 2.07 % respectively.<br />

Differential abundance <strong>of</strong> different classes <strong>of</strong> bacteria in (a) water stressed (b) well watered maize plants<br />
