Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil relate to iron-deficiency chlorosis (FDC) in Asian pear plants, finding a distinct bacterial community composition between affected and healthy plants.
- The analysis revealed that chlorotic leaves showed correlations between total iron and other minerals, while both leaf structure and microbial diversity significantly differed, with fewer stable communities in chlorotic plants.
- Specific bacterial species in the soils of both plant types were identified, noting a decrease in abundance of key species in chlorotic plants, suggesting that poor soil aeration may contribute to FDC.
Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae causes kiwifruit bacterial canker, with severe infection of the kiwifruit plant resulting in heavy economic losses. Little is known regarding the biodiversity and genetic variation of populations of P.
