图1. 水稻通过NRT1.1B基因协同根系微生物利用土壤氮元素
籼稻比粳稻富集更多参与氮代谢的根系微生物。这些微生物将有机氮转化为氨态氮, 提高水稻氮元素利用效率。籼稻和粳稻特异富集的根系微生物与NRT1.1B基因相关联。

Figure 1. Rice plants coordinate root microbiota to utilize soil nitrogen by NRT1.1B
Indica and japonica rice varieties recruit distinct root microb- iota. The biological progresses related to nitrogen metabolism are specifically enriched in indica-enriched bacteria. These bacteria transform organic nitrogen to ammonium, facilitating the nitrogen utilization in rice. NRT1.1B is associated with the recruitments of indica and japonica-specific bacterial taxa.
