Abstract
Drought dramatically affects plant growth and yield. A previous study indicated that endophytic fungus Phomopsis liquidambaris can improve the drought resistance of peanuts, which is related with the root arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) community; however, how root endophytes mediate AMF assembly to affect plant drought resistance remains unclear. Here, we explored the mechanism by which endophytic fungus recruits AMF symbiotic partners via rhizodeposits to improve host drought resistance. The results showed that Ph. liquidambaris enhanced peanut drought resistance by enriching the AMF genus Claroideoglomus of the rhizosphere. Furthermore, metabolomic analysis indicated that Ph. liquidambaris significantly promoted isoformononetin and salicylic acid (SA) synthesis in rhizodeposits, which were correlated with the increase in Claroideoglomus abundance following Ph. liquidambaris inoculation. Coinoculation experiments confirmed that isoformononetin and SA could enrich Claroideoglomus etunicatum in the rhizosphere, thereby improving the drought resistance. This study highlights the crucial role of fungal consortia in plant stress resistance.

Abstract
The potato dry rot disease caused by Fusarium spp. seriously reduces potato yield and threatens human health. However, potential biocontrol agents cannot guarantee the stability and activity of biocontrol. Here, 18 synthetic microbial communities of different scales were constructed, and the synthetic microbial communities with the best biocontrol effect on potato dry rot disease were screened through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results show that the synthetic community composed of Paenibacillus amylolyticus, Pseudomonas putida, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Serratia proteamaculans, Actinomycetia bacterium and Bacillus subtilis has the best biocontrol activity. Metabolomics results show that Serratia protoamaculans interacts with other member strains to produce caproic acid and reduce the disease index to 38.01%. Furthermore, the mycelial growth inhibition after treatment with caproic acid was 77.54%, and flow cytometry analysis showed that the living conidia rate after treatment with caproic acid was 11.2%. This study provides potential value for the application of synthetic microbial communities in potatoes, as well as the interaction mechanisms between member strains of synthetic microbial communities.

Abstract
Plant phenotype is a complex entity largely controlled by the genotype and various environmental factors. Importantly, co-evolution has allowed plants to coexist with the biotic factors in their surroundings. Recently, plant endophytes as an external plant phenotype, forming part of the complex plethora of the plant microbial assemblage, have gained immense attention from plant scientists. Functionally, endophytes impact the plant in many ways, including increasing nutrient availability, enhancing the ability of plants to cope with both abiotic and biotic stress, and enhancing the accumulation of important plant secondary metabolites. The current state of research has been devoted to evaluating the phenotypic impacts of endophytes on host plants, including their direct influence on plant metabolite accumulation and stress response. However, there is a knowledge gap in how genetic factors influence the interaction of endophytes with host plants, pathogens, and other plant microbial communities, eventually controlling the extended microbial plant phenotype. This review will summarize how host genetic factors can impact the abundance and functional diversity of the endophytic microbial community, how endophytes influence host gene expression, and the host-endophyte-pathogen disease triangle. This information will provide novel insights into how breeders could specifically target the plant-endophyte extended phenotype for crop improvement.

Abstract
The potato plant is one of the main crops in the world. However, relatively little is known about key virulence factors of major fungal and bacterial diseases in potatoes, biocontrol measures to improve activity and stability, and the core driving forces in the control process. Here, we focus on analyzing the mechanisms by which genes, proteins, or (and) metabolites of potato pathogens as key virulence factors. Then, the single strain biocontrol agents, synthetic microbial communities, microbial microcapsule strategies were introduced, and the latter two strategies can improve stability and activity in biocontrol. Meanwhile, summarized the defense mechanisms of biocontrol and their specific issues in practical applications. Furthermore, explore how potato crop management, soil management, and climate effects, as crucial driving forces affect potato biocontrol in the system. Dynamic and systematic research, excavation of biocontrol strain resources, find the causes of regional disease resistance and exploration of biocontrol mechanism will provide promising solutions for biotic stress faced by potato in the future.

Tang J, Xiao Y, Xu X, Tang M, Zhang X, Yi Y. Root microbiota alters response to root rot in Rhododendron delavayi Franch. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1236110. [PMID: 37692401 PMCID: PMC10486992 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1236110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Root microbiota have a significant effect on plant health. However, the role of root microbiota in the resistance of Rhododendron against root rot is not known. In this study, we employed amplicon 16S and ITS sequencing to investigate the bacterial and fungal communities associated with four distinct niches (bulk soil, rhizosphere, rhizoplane, and endosphere) of both healthy and diseased Rhododendron plants in the Baili Rhododendron nature reserve in China. The amplicon data analysis identified 182 bacterial genera and 141 fungal genera that were impacted by root rot across all niches. Specifically, the rhizoplane appeared to exert a selective gating effect, resulting in a reduction in the complexity of bacterial communities, but not fungal communities, in wild Rhododendron delavayi Franch roots. Nevertheless, the stress induced by root rot led to alterations in the root microbiota and compromised the gating function of the rhizoplane, thereby significantly increasing the complexity of the bacterial community within the plant root. In the root tissue following root rot outbreak, the relative abundance of the pathogenic species Pezicula brunnea and Diaporthe helianthi was enriched by as much as 6.13% and 1.71%, respectively. These findings provide novel insights into the contribution of enrichment of root-associated microbiota to wild plant hosts under the disease stress of root rot. The root rot-causing pathogenic fungi may interact with beneficial bacteria and induce plants to send out "cry for help" signals, which may encourage the specific assembly of microbiota. In the Rhododendron delavayi Franch root microbiota, we found 23 potentially beneficial microbes. Notably, certain beneficial bacteria, such as Sporolactobacillus and Stenotrophomonas, were found to accumulate in the rhizoplane and endosphere under root rot disease stress. Overall, our results lend support to our hypothesis that Rhododendron recruits protective microbes as a strategy to suppress root rot outbreaks. Future endeavors in isolating beneficial microbes capable of mitigating root rot have the potential to enhance plant resilience against root diseases.
