Soil bacterial communities associated with marbled fruit in Citrus reticulata Blanco 'Orah'.

ABSTRACT: Citrus reticulata Blanco 'Orah' is grown throughout southern China and provides enormous economic value. However, the agricultural industry has suffered substantial losses during recent years due to marbled fruit disease. The present study focuses on the soil bacterial communities associated with marbled fruit in 'Orah'. The agronomic traits and microbiomes of plants with normal and marbled fruit from three different orchards were compared. No significant differences were found in agronomic traits between the groups, except for higher fruit yields and higher quality of fruits in normal fruit group. Additionally, a total of 2,106,050 16S rRNA gene sequences were generated via the NovoSeq 6000. The alpha diversity index (including the Shannon and Simpson indices), Bray-Curtis s
