Rhizosphere-associated soil microbiome variability in Verticillium wilt-affected Cotinus coggygria.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Verticillium wilt is the most devastating soil-borne disease affecting Cotinus coggygria in the progress of urban landscape construction in China.

Methods

To assess the variability of the rhizosphere-associated soil microbiome in response to Verticillium wilt occurrence, we investigated the microbial diversity, taxonomic composition, biomarker species, and co-occurrence network of the rhizosphere-associated soil in Verticillium wilt-affected C. coggygria using Illumina sequencing.

Results

The alpha diversity indices of the rhizosphere bacteria in Verticillium wilt-affected plants showed no significant variability compared with those in healthy plants, except for a moderate increase in the Shannon and Invsim
