Diseased-induced multifaceted variations in community assembly and functions of plant-associated microbiomes.

ABSTRACT: Plant-associated microorganisms are believed to be part of the so-called extended plant phenotypes, affecting plant growth and health. Understanding how plant-associated microorganisms respond to pathogen invasion is crucial to controlling plant diseases through microbiome manipulation. In this study, healthy and diseased (bacterial wilt disease, BWD) tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants were harvested, and variations in the rhizosphere and root endosphere microbial communities were subsequently investigated using amplicon and shotgun metagenome sequencing. BWD led to a significant increase in rhizosphere bacterial diversity in the rhizosphere but reduced bacterial diversity in the root endosphere. The ecological null model indicated that BWD enhanced the bacterial deterministic
