Abstract Host-associated bacterial communities can function as an important line of defence against pathogens in animals and plants. Empirical evidence theoretical predictions suggest that species-rich are more resistant to pathogen invasions. Yet, the underlying mechanisms unclear. Here, we experimentally test how resource competition networks resident affect invasion resistance plant Ralstonia solanacearum microcosms tomato rhizosphere. We find bipartite better predictors compared with...
The development of strategies for effectively manipulating and engineering beneficial plant-associated microbiomes is a major challenge in microbial ecology. In this sense, the efficacy potential implications rhizosphere microbiome transplant (RMT) plant disease management have only scarcely been explored literature. Here, we initially investigated differences 12 Solanaceae eggplant varieties accessed their level resistance promoted against bacterial wilt caused by pathogen Ralstonia...
Composting is an environmentally friendly way to turn plant and animal wastes into organic fertilizers. However, it unclear what extent the source of waste products (such as manure) affects physicochemical microbiological properties compost. Here, we experimentally tested how type livestock manure herbivores (sheep cattle) omnivores (pig chicken) influences bacterial fungal communities Higher pH, NO 3 -N, Total carbon (TC) content C/N were found in sheep cattle composts, while higher EC, NH...
Plant growth depends on a range of functions provided by their associated rhizosphere microbiome, including nutrient mineralization, hormone co-regulation and pathogen suppression. Improving the ability plant-associated microbiomes to deliver these is thus important for developing robust sustainable crop production. However, it yet unclear how beneficial effects probiotic microbial inoculants can be optimized are mediated. Here, we sought enhance tomato plant targeted introduction bacterial...
The RIPENING-INHIBITOR (RIN) transcriptional factor is a key regulator governing fruit ripening. While RIN also affects other physiological processes, its potential roles in triggering interactions with the rhizosphere microbiome and plant health are unknown. Here we show that microbiome-mediated disease resistance via root exudation, leading to recruitment of microbiota suppress soil-borne, phytopathogenic Ralstonia solanacearum bacterium. Compared wild-type (WT) plant, mutants had...
Community diversity affects the survival of newly introduced species via resource competition. Competitive interactions can be modulated by availability and we hypothesized that this may alter biodiversity-invasion relationships. To study this, assessed growth a bacterial invader, Ralstonia solanacearum, when into communities comprised one to five closely related resident under different concentrations. The invader was then examined as function community richness, composition availability....
Abstract Plant‐derived low‐molecular weight compounds play a crucial role in shaping soil microbiome functionality. While various have been demonstrated to affect microbes, most data are case‐specific and do not provide generalizable predictions on their effects. Here we show that the chemical structural affiliation of typically secreted by plant roots—sugars, amino acids, organic acids phenolic acids—can predictably diversity, composition functioning terms disease suppression. We amended...
Interactions between plant pathogens and root-associated microbes play an important role in determining disease outcomes. While several studies have suggested that steering these interactions may improve health, such approaches remained challenging practice. Because of low iron availability most soils, competition for via secreted siderophore molecules might influence microbial interaction Here, we tested if bacterial mediated by iron-scavenging siderophores can be used to predict the...
Abstract Abiotic and biotic soil properties are strong predictors of plant yield globally 1–5 , but they become unreliable over large areas when health is threatened by pathogen 6–8 . Here we present a novel approach to predict based on spatiotemporal changes in chemical biological properties. We first demonstrate that consistently respond environmental change (organic fertilization) regardless the type or geographical origin. Second, experimentally show trackable shifts reliably explain...
Bio-organic fertilization is a widely used, eco-friendly, sustainable approach to increasing plant productivity in the agriculture and fruit industries. However, it remains unclear whether promotion of related specific changes microbial inoculants, resident microbiome, and/or physicochemical properties rhizosphere soils.
Microbe-based biocontrol applications hold the potential to become an efficient way control plant pathogen disease outbreaks in future. However, their efficiency is still very variable, which could be due sensitivity abiotic environmental conditions.Here, we assessed how temperature variation correlates with ability of Ralstonia pickettii, endophytic bacterial agent, suppress solanacearum during different tomato crop seasons China.We found that suppression was highest when seasonal mean...

Plant hormones have been recently shown to exert an indirect influence on the recruitment of plant-associated microbiomes. However, it remains unclear extent which disruption ethylene (ET) signaling pathway affects assembly and functioning plant-root In this study, Never-ripe tomato mutant (Nr) was profiled for differences compared wild type (control). Tomato plants were subjected root exudate profiling characterization bacterial fungal communities. Compared control, Nr revealed in...
Diversity–invasion resistance relationships are often variable and sensitive to environmental conditions such as resource availability. Resource stoichiometry, the relative concentration of different elements in environment, has been shown have strong effects on physiology interactions between species. Yet, its role for diversity–invasion is still poorly understood. Here, we explored how ratio nitrogen (N) phosphorus affects productivity invasion constructed microbial communities by a plant...
Abstract The soil-borne bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum causes significant losses in Solanaceae crop production worldwide, including tomato, potato, and eggplant. To efficiently prevent outbreaks, it is essential to understand the complex interactions between pathogens microbiome. One promising mechanism for enhancing microbiome functionality siderophore-mediated competition, which shaped by low iron availability rhizosphere. This study explores critical role of competition...
Abstract Microbial interactions within resident communities are a major determinant of resistance to pathogen invasion. Yet, vary with environmental conditions, raising the question how community composition and environments interactively shape invasion resistance. Here, we use resource availability (RA) as model parameter altering bacterial by plant pathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum . We found that at high RA, between species were mainly driven direct antagonism, in terms means...
Abstract Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) represent a green solution to emerging food production challenges but the knowledge of their role in shaping phylogenetic and social relationships bacterial rhizosphere community is lacking. We here address this gap by following effects Bacillus velezensis SQR9, commercially important PGP rhizobacterium, on focusing species. Results show that SQR9 dramatically shifts enriching moderately related swarming compatible species with decreased...
Abstract Understanding how microbiomes resist pathogen invasion remains a key challenge in natural ecosystems. Here, we combined genome-scale metabolic models with synthetic community experiments to unravel the mechanisms driving suppression. We developed curated for each strain, incorporating 48 common resource utilization profiles fully capture their capacities. Trophic interactions inferred from accurately predicted outcomes, achieving an F1 score of 96% across 620 tests involving diverse...
ABSTRACT According to the Lotka-Volterra competition model, intraspecific in plant-associated microbial communities should be stronger than interspecific competition. However, there is limited information on whether follow this pattern and how disturbance by a newcomer affects them. Given increasing popularity of probiotics, filling knowledge gap could help guide future coexistence research. Here, we show that inoculation with known probiotic, B. velezensis SQR9 shifts species co-occurrence...
