    Abstract:
    Understanding the effects of grapevine rootstock and scion genotypes on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), as well as the roles of these fungi in plant development, could provide new avenues for adapting viticulture to climate change and reducing agrochemical inputs. The root colonization of 10 rootstock/scion combinations was studied using microscopy and metabarcoding approaches and linked to plant development phenotypes. The AMF communities were analysed using 18S rRNA gene sequencing. The 28S rRNA gene was also sequenced for some combinations to evaluate whether the method changed the results. Root colonization indexes measured by microscopy were not significantly different between genotypes. Metabarcoding analyses showed an effect of the rootstock genotype on the β-diversity and the enrichment of several taxa with both target genes, as well as an effect on the Chao1 index with the 18S rRNA gene. We confirm that rootstocks recruit different AMF communities when subjected to the same pedoclimatic conditions, while the scion has little or no effect. Significant correlations were observed between AMF community composition and grapevine development, suggesting that AMF have a positive effect on plant growth. Given these results, it will be important to define consensus methods for studying the role of these beneficial micro-organisms in vineyards.
