ITS amplicon sequencing revealed that rare taxa of tea rhizosphere fungi are closely related to the environment and provide feedback on tea tree diseases.

ABSTRACT: The rhizospheres of plants and soil microorganisms are intricately interconnected. Tea trees are cultivated extensively on the karst plateau of Guizhou Province, China; however, the understanding of the interactions among fungal communities, community taxa, and diseases impacting tea tree in the soil rhizosphere is limited. Our aim is to offer insights for the advancement of modern agriculture in ecologically fragile karst tea gardens, as well as microbiomics concepts for green and sustainable environmental development. This study utilized the internal transcribed spacer high-throughput sequencing technology to explore the symbiotic relationship between rhizosphere fungi and plant disease feedback in multiple tea estates across the Guizhou Plateau. The ecological preferences and environmen
