摘要: Clubroot is a major disease and severe threat to Chinese cabbage, and it is caused by the pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae Woron. This pathogen is an obligate biotrophic protist and can persist in soil in the form of resting spores for more than 18 years, which can easily be transmitted through a number of agents, resulting in significant economic losses to global Chinese cabbage production. Rhizosphere microbiomes play fundamental roles in the occurrence and development of plant diseases. The changes in the rhizosphere microorganisms could reveal the severity of plant diseases and provide the basis for their control. Here, we studied the rhizosphere microbiota after clubroot disease infections with different severities by employing metagenomic sequencing, with the aim of exploring the relationships between plant health, rhizosphere microbial communities, and soil environments; then, we identified potential biomarker microbes of clubroot disease. The results showed that clubroot disease severity significantly affected the microbial community composition and structure of the rhizosphere soil, and microbial functions were also dramatically influenced by it. Four different microbes that had great potential in the biocontrol of clubroot disease were identified from the obtained results; they were the genera Pseudomonas, Gemmatimonas, Sphingomonas, and Nocardioides. Soil pH, organic matter contents, total nitrogen, and cation exchange capacity were the major environmental factors modulating plant microbiome assembly. In addition, microbial environmental information processing was extremely strengthened when the plant was subjected to pathogen invasion, but weakened when the disease became serious. In particular, oxidative phosphorylation and glycerol-1-phosphatase might have critical functions in enhancing Chinese cabbage's resistance to clubroot disease. This work revealed the interactions and potential mechanisms among Chinese cabbage, soil environmental factors, clubroot disease, and microbial community structure and functions, which may provide a novel foundation for further studies using microbiological or metabolic methods to develop disease-resistant cultivation technologies.
