Microbial community and chemical composition of cigar tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaves altered by tobacco wildfire disease.

ABSTRACT: Tobacco wildfire disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci is one of the most destructive foliar bacterial diseases occurring worldwide. However, the effect of wildfire disease on cigar tobacco leaves has not been clarified in detail. In this study, the differences in microbiota and chemical factors between wildfire disease-infected leaves and healthy leaves were characterized using high-throughput Illumina sequencing and a continuous-flow analytical system, respectively. The results demonstrated significant alterations in the structure of the phyllosphere microbial community in response to wildfire disease, and the infection of P. syringae pv. tabaci led to a decrease in bacterial richness and diversity. Furthermore, the content of nicotine, protein, to
