Genotype-associated core bacteria enhance host resistance against kiwifruit bacterial canker.

ABSTRACT: Both the phyllosphere and rhizosphere are inhabited by different kinds of microorganisms that are closely related to plant growth and health. However, it is not clear whether disease-resistant cultivars shape the microbiome to facilitate disease resistance. In this study, significant differences were found in the aboveground and belowground bacterial communities of disease-resistant and disease-susceptible cultivars grown in the same kiwifruit orchard. The phyllosphere of the resistant cultivar 'Wanjin' showed greater enrichment of Pseudomonas spp. and Sphingomonas spp. than the susceptible cultivar 'Donghong'. The rhizosphere microbes of 'Wanjin' were less affected by field location, with significantly greater bacterial abundance than those of 'Donghong' and more bacteria wi
