Project description:<p>Entomopathogenic fungi have the ability to both directly kill insect pests and act as plant endophytic fungi to impact plant growth and development. Despite this, the widespread endophytic use of these fungi in tea plants (Camellia sinensis) is still limited. This study examined how Beauveria bassiana colonizes tea plant tissues and its impact on tea plant growth and development. Through amplicon sequencing and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), the study investigated the response patterns of dominant endophytic microbial populations in tea plants during fungal colonization and the alterations in secondary metabolites in tea plants due to the colonization process. B. bassiana effectively colonized tea seedlings through root irrigation and foliar spraying methods, showing a preference for stems, and the colonization persisted for more than 90 days. Colonization resulted in a reduction in the diversity and structural stability of the endophytic microbial community in tea plants; however, it also enhanced the importance of ecologically mutualistic relationships or cooperative interactions in community assembly. Additionally, colonization had a more pronounced effect on endophytic fungi compared to endophytic bacteria. It led to an increase in the relative abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in root tissues and a decrease in the relative abundance of total plant pathogens in tea plant tissues. Terpenoids were the most significantly associated differential metabolites following B. bassiana colonization, followed by steroids and their derivatives, and flavonoids. Colonization by B. bassiana resulted in elevated levels of the majority of differential metabolites in tea plant stems at the onset of colonization. The colonization of B. bassiana in tea plants displayed a strong positive correlation with 26 distinct metabolites, such as proanthocyanidin B2 and L-malic acid. This colonization altered the endophytic microbial community, impacting metabolic pathways associated with plant hormone synthesis, volatile compound production, as well as the growth, development, and defense of tea plants.</p>
