<i>Mesorhizobium huakuii</i> 7653 R regulates the endophytic bacterial communities and disease resistance pathways to promote clubroot resistance in <i>Brassica napus</i>.

ABSTRACT: Clubroot is a global soilborne disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae that severely affects cruciferous crops. Currently, there are no effective control measures to completely eliminate pathogens in the field. Pot experiments have shown that treatment with Mesorhizobium huakuii 7653 R can relieve clubroot symptoms. However, whether M. huakuii 7653 R can be used in the field to control clubroot disease is unclear, and the mechanism of its resistance remains largely unknown. We conducted two seasons of field trials with Brassica napus and found that M. huakuii 7653 R treatment significantly reduced clubroot disease severity, and that the agronomic traits at the seedling, flowering, and harvesting stages were significantly improved compared to the contro
