Multi-omics analysis reveals the pathobiome-host interactions in the bleaching disease of the seaweed Saccharina japonica.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The emerging concept of the pathobiome has revolutionized our understanding of disease etiology by emphasizing the complex interactions between multiple pathogens and their hosts during disease progression. Although significant advancements have been made in characterizing the pathobiome in human, animal, and plant diseases, the pathobiome associated with seaweed diseases remains unexplored. Saccharina japonica, a commercially important farmed seaweed, has increasingly suffered from bleaching disease during its nursery stage, severely compromising the supply of healthy sporelings and sea field cultivation. Despite its significant economic consequences, the pathobiome associated with this bleaching disease and its interactions with the host remain unclear, posing a major
