Microbiome shifts during <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> and <i>F. solani</i> (syn. <i>Neocosmospora solani</i>)-induced <i>Ligusticum chuanxiong</i> root rot: endophtic bacterial protective responses and fungal pathogenic tendencies.

ABSTRACT: Root rot disease is a globally significant threat to the health of diverse economically important crops. Understanding shifts in the plant microbiome during disease progression can aid in identifying beneficial microbes with disease-resistant potential and developing ecofriendly biocontrol strategies. However, microbiome changes during root rot progression in the medicinal plant Ligusticum chuanxiong remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the response of host-associated microbiomes to pathogen stress (Fusarium oxysporum and F. solani syn. Neocosmospora solani) during L. chuanxiong root rot. The diversity, composition, function, and network interactions of bacterial and fungal communities were examined using high-throughput sequencing an
