Genomic and phenotypic analyses reveal PJH16 is a potential biocontrol agent against cucumber fusarium wilt.

In recent years, bacterial-based biocontrol agents (BCA) have become a new trend for the control of fungal diseases such as fusarium wilt that seriously threaten the yield and quality of cucumber, which are transmitted through infested soil and water. This study was set out with the aim of figuring the mechanism of the isolated rhizobacterial strain PJH16 in preventing f. sp.

Effects of Rhizosphere Microbial Communities on Cucumber wilt Disease Suppression.

Cucumber wilt is a worldwide soil-borne disease that seriously restricts the yield and quality of cucumber. The rhizosphere soil microbiome, as the first line of defense against pathogens invading plant roots, plays a key role in rhizosphere immune formation and function. The purpose of this study was to reveal the key microecological factors and dominant microbial flora affecting cucumber resistance and susceptibility to wilt by analyzing the physical and chemical properties and microbial flora of rhizosphere soil with different degrees of susceptibility and resistance to cucumber wilt, thereby laying a foundation to establish cucumber resistance to the wilt rhizosphere core microbiome.
