Abstract
The application of disease-resistant varieties is the most cost-effective method for solving the problem of clubroot. "Shangpin," a disease-resistant variety of Chinese cabbage with broad-spectrum immunity to Plasmodiophora brassicae (P. brassicae), was screened in a previous study. Based on 16S rRNA sequencing technology, we annotated the compositional differences between the rhizosphere, rhizoplane, and endosphere bacterial communities of "Shangpin" and "83-1" under P. brassicae stress. Alpha diversity analysis showed that the abundance of microorganisms in the root system of "83-1" changed more than that of "Shangpin" after P. brassicae infestation, and Beta diversity analysis indicated that Flavobacterium and Sphingomonas may mediate clubroot resistance, while Nitrospira, Nitrosospira, and Pseudomonas may mediate P. brassicae infestation among the bacteria in the Top 10 abundances. Microbial functional analyses showed that the root microorganisms of "83-1" were metabolically weakened after P. brassicae inoculation and were inhibited in competition with pathogenic bacteria. Conversely, the root microorganisms of "Shangpin" maintained the strength of their metabolic capacity, which took a favorable position in competition with the pathogen and inhibited the growth and development of the pathogen, thus showing resistance. Root secretions of "Shangpin" significantly inhibited the incidence and disease index of clubroot, which indicated that under clubroot stress, resistant varieties maintain root microbial diversity and microbial community functions through specific root exudates, enriching the genera Flavobacterium and Sphingomonas, thus showing resistance. The results of this study reveal the resistance mechanism of resistant varieties to clubroot and provide new insights into the prevention and control of clubroot in Chinese cabbage.

Transcriptomic and metabolomic differences between banana varieties which are resistant or susceptible to Fusarium wilt. PeerJ 2023; 11:e16549. [PMID: 38107578 PMCID: PMC10722978 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.16549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 4 (Foc4), is the most lethal disease of bananas in Asia. Methods To better understand the defense response of banana to Fusarium wilt, the transcriptome and metabolome profiles of the roots from resistant and susceptible bananas inoculated with Foc4 were compared. Results After Foc4 inoculation, there were 172 and 1,856 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the Foc4-susceptible variety (G1) and Foc4-resistant variety (G9), respectively. In addition, a total of 800 DEGs were identified between G1 and G9, which were mainly involved in the oxidation-reduction process, cell wall organization, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and lipid and nitrogen metabolism, especially the DEGs of Macma4_08_g22610, Macma4_11_g19760, and Macma4_03_g06480, encoding non-classical arabinogalactan protein; GDSL-like lipase; and peroxidase. In our study, G9 showed a stronger and earlier response to Foc4 than G1. As the results of metabolomics, lipids, phenylpropanoids and polyketides, organic acids, and derivatives played an important function in response to Fusarium wilt. More importantly, Macma4_11_g19760 might be one of the key genes that gave G9 more resistance to Foc4 by a lowered expression and negative regulation of lipid metabolism. This study illustrated the difference between the transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles of resistant and susceptible bananas. These results improved the current understanding of host-pathogen interactions and will contribute to the breeding of resistant banana plants.
