Rhizosphere microbiome analysis of healthy and infected cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) varieties from Gujarat, India.

ABSTRACT: Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.; Jeera) is a popular herbal seed spice used in culinary preparation in India. Gujarat and Rajasthan are the largest producer states of cumin seeds from India, while India is also the largest supplier and exporter of cumin across the globe. However, production of cumin is suffering from loss of crop production due to the plant pathogen infections, especially from Fusarium oxysporium sp. Rhizomicrobiome is the key modulator of plant health, revitalizing nutrients and disease response against plant pathogens. The secretion of different metabolites such as root exudates plays an important role in host plant rhizosphere microbial interactions influencing the plant health, growth and development, nutrient acquisition, and disease resistance.
