摘要： BackgroundBeneficial root-associated microbiomes play crucial roles in enhancing plant growth and suppressing pathogenic threats, and their application for defending against pathogens has garnered increasing attention. Nonetheless, the dynamics of microbiome assembly and defense mechanisms during pathogen invasion remain largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the diversity and assembly of microbial communities within four niches (bulk soils, rhizosphere, rhizoplane, and endosphere) under the influence of the bacterial plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum.ResultsOur results revealed that healthy tobacco plants exhibited more diverse community compositions and more robust co-occurrence networks in root-associated niches compared to diseased tobacco plants. Stochastic processes (dispersal limitation and drift), rather than determinism, dominated the assembly processes, with a higher impact of drift observed in diseased plants than in healthy ones. Furthermore, during the invasion of R. solanacearum, the abundance of Fusarium genera, a known potential pathogen of Fusarium wilt, significantly increased in diseased plants. Moreover, the response strategies of the microbiomes to pathogens in diseased and healthy plants diverged. Diseased microbiomes recruited beneficial microbial taxa, such as Streptomyces and Bacilli, to mount defenses against pathogens, with an increased presence of microbial taxa negatively correlated with the pathogen. Conversely, the potential defense strategies varied across niches in healthy plants, with significant enrichments of functional genes related to biofilm formation in the rhizoplane and antibiotic biosynthesis in the endosphere.ConclusionOur study revealed the varied community composition and assembly mechanism of microbial communities between healthy and diseased tobacco plants along the soil-root continuum, providing new insights into niche-specific defense mechanisms against pathogen invasions. These findings may underscore the potential utilization of different functional prebiotics to enhance plants' ability to fend off pathogens.
