Microbial Sequencing of Diseased and Healthy Soils
Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum poses a serious threat to global tomato production, but the mechanisms underlying its occurrence within the rhizosphere remain to be fully elucidated. Through 16S amplicon sequencing analysis, we systematically compared the microbial community characteristics of the rhizosphere and bulk soil samples from healthy and diseased plants, and examined their association with pathogen abundance and disease incidence.
