Comparative study of the bacterial microbiome associated with four banana cultivars with distinct levels of resistance to Fusarium wilt

This research explores the vital role of the plant microbiome in enhancing plant health and resistance to diseases. Plants host unique microbial communities on their surfaces and within their tissues, forming what is known as the plant microbiome. This microbiome, particularly around the roots, acts as a crucial line of defense against soil-borne pathogens and aids in nutrient cycling. This study focuses on banana crops, examining how breeding for disease resistance influences the rhizosphere microbiome.

本研究探讨了植物微生物组（plant microbiome）在提升植物健康水平与抗病能力方面的关键作用。植物在其体表与组织内部定植有独特的微生物群落，由此构成了被称为植物微生物组的整体。该微生物组，尤其是根际区域的群落，是抵御土传病原菌的重要防线，并有助于养分循环过程。本研究以香蕉作物为研究对象，考察抗病育种如何影响根际微生物组（rhizosphere microbiome）。
