The epidemic occurrence of decline disease in bayberry trees altered plant and soil related microbiome and metabolome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In China, decline disease with unknown etiology appeared as an epidemic among bayberry trees in the southern area of the Yangtze River. Furthermore, the use of beneficial microbes has been reported to be able to reduce the incidence of this disease, emphasizing the association of this disease with microorganisms. Therefore, it has become critical to uncover the microbiome's function and related metabolites in remodeling the immunity of bayberry trees under biotic or abiotic stresses.

Results

The amplicon sequencing data revealed that decline disease significantly altered bacterial and fungal communities, and their metabolites in the four distinct niches, especially in the rhizosphere soils and roots. Furthermore, the microbial communities in the four niches correl
