Abstract
Banana wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense has devastated a large number of banana plantations worldwide. Biological control is a possible method to conquer this disease. However, the control effect was often low and unstable while a single biocontrol strain had been applied in the field. Therefore, this study aimed to construct an effective compound microbial agent to control Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB) in the field. In addition to it, the compounding strategy of combining single strains for improving the control effect was investigated. Based on the compatibility test, five representative biocontrol strains were selected for the combination of all possible permutations. The pot experiment indicated that every biocontrol strain and their 26 combinations could control FWB to varying degrees. The control effect of combinations on FWB was higher than that of a single strain. In terms of the number of combinatorial biocontrol strains, the control effect of the four-strain combinations was the highest. According to the taxonomic differences of the five biocontrol strains, 26 biocontrol strain combinations could be divided into four groups. Among the strains in the combination, the larger the taxonomic differences the more easily it was to obtain a higher control effect. To obtain stable and efficient combinations, eight combinations were selected out and evaluated for their effectiveness in controlling FWB in different type soil. Compared with the other seven combinations, the four-strain combination T28 (Pt05 + Bc11 + Ba62 + gz-2) got the highest and stablest control effect in the four types of soil in greenhouse. And then the control effect of combination T28 was evaluated in field conditions, compared with commercially agents Bacillus subtilis, Trichoderma harzianum, and carbendazim. After four consecutive applications in the field, the control effect of T28 against FWB was the highest, reaching 57.14%. The results showed that combination T28 had a good application prospect, and the finding provided a reference for the construction of compound microbial agents.

Zhang X, Wang H, Que Y, Yu D, Wang H. The influence of rhizosphere soil fungal diversity and complex community structure on wheat root rot disease. PeerJ 2022; 9:e12601. [PMID: 34993020 PMCID: PMC8675258 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.12601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Wheat root rot disease due to soil-borne fungal pathogens leads to tremendous yield losses worth billions of dollars worldwide every year. It is very important to study the relationship between rhizosphere soil fungal diversity and wheat roots to understand the occurrence and development of wheat root rot disease. A significant difference in fungal diversity was observed in the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased wheat roots in the heading stage, but the trend was the opposite in the filling stage. The abundance of most genera with high richness decreased significantly from the heading to the filling stage in the diseased groups; the richness of approximately one-third of all genera remained unchanged, and only a few low-richness genera, such as Fusarium and Ceratobasidium, had a very significant increase from the heading to the filling stage. In the healthy groups, the abundance of most genera increased significantly from the heading to filling stage; the abundance of some genera did not change markedly, or the abundance of very few genera increased significantly. Physical and chemical soil indicators showed that low soil pH and density, increases in ammonium nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and total nitrogen contributed to the occurrence of wheat root rot disease. Our results revealed that in the early stages of disease, highly diverse rhizosphere soil fungi and a complex community structure can easily cause wheat root rot disease. The existence of pathogenic fungi is a necessary condition for wheat root rot disease, but the richness of pathogenic fungi is not necessarily important. The increases in ammonium nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and total nitrogen contributed to the occurrence of wheat root rot disease. Low soil pH and soil density are beneficial to the occurrence of wheat root rot disease.

Bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of biofortified BRS pontal and conventional carioca bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants. Arch Microbiol 2021; 204:14. [PMID: 34894275 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-021-02620-z] [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: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 10/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/30/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
The current knowledge of bean plants microbiome is far from being complete. Unraveling the complexity of the bacterial communities within common bean cultivars that may significantly contribute to plant health, growth and protection against soil pathogens, represents a major challenge. In this study, the richness and composition of the bacterial communities from bean plant rhizospheres and control bulk soils were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing and comparative analyses. From the classified sequences, Proteobacteria represented the most abundant phylum (42-66%), followed by Acidobacteria (12-36%) and Actinobacteria (11-18%), Bacterial community structures were different between bulk soil and rhizosphere samples. Comparing the bean cultivars, the biofortified cultivar presented high number of sequences affiliated to the genera Burkholderia and Rhodanobacter. Interestingly, despite the presence of stable and persistent core bacterial taxa associated with the common bean varieties, our analysis suggested that the biofortified common bean cultivar could select and maintain differential abundances of microbial groups in the rhizosphere environment.
