Metabolome-driven microbiome assembly determining the health of ginger crop (Zingiber officinale L. Roscoe) against rhizome rot.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plant-associated microorganisms can be found in various plant niches and collectively comprise the plant microbiome. The plant microbiome assemblages have been extensively studied, primarily in model species. However, a deep understanding of the microbiome assembly associated with plant health is still needed. Ginger rhizome rot has been variously attributed to multiple individual causal agents. Due to its global relevance, we used ginger and rhizome rot as a model to elucidate the metabolome-driven microbiome assembly associated with plant health.

Results

Our study thoroughly examined the biodiversity of soilborne and endophytic microbiota in healthy and diseased ginger plants, highlighting the impact of bacterial and fungal microbes on plant health and the speci
