Abstract Background: Panax notoginseng (Burkill) F. H. Chen is a Chinese medicinal plant of the Araliaceae family commonly used in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Asia and elsewhere. To meet an increase in Chinese herbal medicine market demand, most P. notoginseng is planted artificially, and is vulnerable to various plant diseases. Root rot disease, in particular, causes substantial P. notoginseng yield reduction and economic losses. High-depth next-generation sequencing technology was used to analyze the rhizosphere and root endophyte microbial communities of P. notoginseng to compare the characteristics of these two communities between healthy and root rot diseased P. notoginseng plants, and to clarify the relationship between these microbial communities and root rot disease.Results: The P. notoginseng rhizosphere microbial community was more diverse than the root endophyte community, and the difference in functional pathways between healthy and diseased P. notoginseng plants was greater in the root endophyte than in the rhizosphere communities. Multi-database annotation results showed that the highest number of endophytic bacteria occurred in the roots of diseased plants. The number of carbohydrate-active enzymes database families was also higher in diseased roots. The RND antibiotic efflux function was higher in the healthy samples. A high abundance of Variovorax paradoxus and Pseudomonas fluorescens occurred in the healthy and diseased root endophyte communities, respectively. Ilyonectria mors-panacis and Pseudopyrenochaeta lycopersici were most abundant in the diseased samples. In addition, the complete genome of two unknown Flavobacteriaceae species and one unknown Bacteroides species were obtained based on binning analysis.Conclusions: The rhizosphere and root endophyte microbial communities of healthy and root rot diseased P. notoginseng showed marked differences in diversity and functional pathways. The higher mapping values obtained for the diseased samples reflected the occurrence of root rot disease at the molecular level. Variovorax paradoxus and Pseudomonas fluorescens may be antagonistic bacteria of root rot in P. notoginseng, whereas Ilyonectria mors-panacis and Pseudopyrenochaeta lycopersici appear to be P. notoginseng root rot pathogens. Our study provides a theoretical basis for understanding the occurrence of root rot in P. notoginseng and for further research on potential biological control agents.

Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F. H. Chen is a Chinese medicinal plant of the Araliaceae family used for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Asia. P. notoginseng is vulnerable to root rot disease, which reduces the yield of P. notoginseng. In this study, we analyzed the rhizosphere soil and root endophyte microbial communities of P. notoginseng from different geographical locations using high-throughput sequencing. Our results revealed that the P. notoginseng rhizosphere soil microbial community was more diverse than the root endophyte community. Rhodopseudomonas, Actinoplanes, Burkholderia, and Variovorax paradoxus can help P. notoginseng resist the invasion of root rot disease. Ilyonectria mors-panacis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Pseudopyrenochaeta lycopersici are pathogenic bacteria of P. notoginseng. The upregulation of amino acid transport and metabolism in the soil would help to resist pathogens and improve the resistance of P. notoginseng. The ABC transporter and gene modulating resistance genes can improve the disease resistance of P. notoginseng, and the increase in the number of GTs (glycosyltransferases) and GHs (glycoside hydrolases) families may be a molecular manifestation of P. notoginseng root rot. In addition, the complete genomes of two Flavobacteriaceae species and one Bacteroides species were obtained. This study demonstrated the microbial and functional diversity in the rhizosphere and root microbial community of P. notoginseng and provided useful information for a better understanding of the microbial community in P. notoginseng root rot. Our results provide insights into the molecular mechanism underlying P. notoginseng root rot and other plant rhizosphere microbial communities.

Abstract Background Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) cultivation is highly challenged by faba bean black root rot disease (Fusarium solani) in high lands of Ethiopia. To ensure sustainable production of faba beans, searching for eco-friendly disease management options is necessary to curb the progress of the disease timely. The indigenous biocontrol agents that suit local environments may effectively strive with in-situ microorganisms and suppress local pathogen strains. This study aimed to screen antagonistic indigenous compatible Trichoderma and Pseudomonas strains against Fusarium solani. In the pathogenicity test, soil-filled pots were arranged in complete random block design and sown with health faba bean seeds. The effect of some fungicides was evaluated against Fusarium by food poisoning methods to compare with the biocontrol agents. The antagonistic efficacy of biocontrol agents and their compatibility was investigated on Potato dextrose agar medium. Results Fusarium solani AAUF51 strain caused an intense root rotting in faba bean plant. The effect of Mancozeb 80% WP at 300 ppm was comparable with Trichoderma and Pseudomonas strains against Fusarium. The mycelial growth of test the pathogen was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) reduced to 86.67 and 85.19% by Trichoderma harzianum AAUW1 and Trichoderma viridae AAUC22 strains in dual culture, respectively. The volatile metabolites of Pseudomonas aeruginosa AAUS31 (77.78%) found the most efficient in reducing mycelial growth of Fusarium followed by Pseudomonas fluorescens AAUPF62 (71.11%) strains. The cell-free culture filtrates of Pseudomonas fluorescens AAUPF62 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa AAUS31 were more efficient than the Trichoderma strain in reducing the growth of Fusarium isolates. There was no zone of inhibition recorded between Trichoderma harzianum AAUW1, Trichoderma viridae AAUC22, Pseudomonas aeruginosa AAUS31, and Pseudomonas fluorescens AAUPF62 strains, hence they were mutually compatible. Conclusions The compatible Trichoderma and Pseudomonas strains showed antagonistic potentiality that could be explored for faba bean protection against black root rot disease and might have a future dual application as biocontrol agents.

Dickeya zeae is the causative agent of rice root rot disease and causes severe harvest and economic losses. In this study, the Bacillus velezensis strain J17-4 with significant antagonist against D. zeae was used to generate DNA for sequencing. After assembly, a high-quality complete genome comprising only a circular chromosome was available. The genome sequence consists of a total of 3877 prediction coding sequences and nine types of gene clusters involved in secondary metabolite production. This genome data will provide information for understanding the underlying mechanism of strain J17-4 antagonist against D. zeae and a new useful source for comparative genomics studies between strains isolated from various habitats.
