The fungal communities in the rhizosphere soil of Yunyan 87 (root rot resistant) and Honghua Dajinyuan (root rot susceptible) cultivars Raw sequence reads

To understand the differences in the rhizosphere soil fungal communities structure and diversity in response to continuous cropping, a pot experiment was conducted by growing two tobacco varieties, Yunyan 87 root rot resistant and Honghua Dajinyuan root rot susceptible cultivars. The fungal communities in the rhizosphere soil of both varieties were compared and analyzed by Illumina Miseq high throughput sequencing. The findings of present study provide practical insights into an in-depth understanding of the microbial mechanism of the continuous cropping obstacle of Nicotiana tabacum L. and which would help in the prevention and control of root rot.
