Shared Core Microbiome and Functionality of Key Taxa Suppressive to Banana Fusarium Wilt.

ABSTRACT: Microbial contributions to natural soil suppressiveness have been reported for a range of plant pathogens and cropping systems. To disentangle the mechanisms underlying suppression of banana Panama disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc4), we used amplicon sequencing to analyze the composition of the soil microbiome from six separate locations, each comprised of paired orchards, one potentially suppressive and one conducive to the disease. Functional potentials of the microbiomes from one site were further examined by shotgun metagenomic sequencing after soil suppressiveness was confirmed by greenhouse experiments. Potential key antagonists involved in disease suppression were also isolated, and their activities were validated by a combinatio
