Multi-omics analysis reveals the specific role of biocontrol reagents against tomato bacterial wilt.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is considered one of the most important diseases that cause economic losses to tomato. Currently, eco-friendly biocontrol agents have been increasingly considered as effective approaches to control tomato bacterial wilt. However, the specific mechanisms by which biocontrol bacteria with distinct functions exert their effects remain unclear. In this study, we employed a combination of amplicon sequencing, transcriptomics, and metabolomics analysis to investigate how Bacillus velezensis and Pseudomonas fluorescens affect the defense responses against R. solanacearum in tomato. We showed that the fermentation broth of these biocontrol agents inhibited the growth of R. solanacearum in vitro, and improves the abi
