Core microbiota recruited by healthy grapevines enhance resistance against root rot disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Root rot disease caused by fungal pathogens of wine grapevines poses a serious threat to their growth and results in a substantial economic impact on grape industry. The rhizosphere microbiome recruited to plants is critical for mitigating soil-borne pathogens. However, how beneficial microbes influence disease resistance remains unclear.

Results

We investigate the composition and gene functions of microorganisms in wine grapevines with root rot disease and healthy controls by amplicon and metagenomic sequencing. We use culturomics and in vivo experiments to verify the pathogen and beneficial strains to improve plant health. We find that root rot disease in grapevines significantly affects rhizosphere microbiome diversity and composition. The microbial interkingdo
