Abstract:

The soil fungal community plays an important role in maintaining soil fertility and plant health,however,the effect of bacterial wilt from Ralstonia solanacearum infection on the soil fungal community still is little. Real-time quantitative PCR and high-throughput sequencing technology of MiSeq were used to study the fungal community composition in the bulk and rhizosphere soils cropped with diseased and non-diseased tomato. The results showed that the occurrence of R. solanacearum infection significantly affected the fungal community composition of bulk and rhizosphere soil. Compared to the non-diseased tomato rhizosphere soil,the fungal abundance,alpha diversity of Chao1 and Shannon in the diseased tomato rhizosphere soil significantly reduced. And the relative abundances of indigenous beneficial fungi such as GliocladiumMortierellaAcremonium and Trichoderma significantly reduced whereas the relative abundance of the harmful fungus of Fusarium significantly increased. In summary,the occurrence of R. solanacearum infection altered the composition of the soil fungal community. The fungal abundance,alpha diversity,and the relative abundance of indigenous beneficial fungi depleted while the relative abundance of harmful fungi enriched. The results may provide the elucidation of the microecological mechanism of outbreak of soil-borne bacterial wilt.

Key words: Ralstonia solanacearum, fungal abundance, fungal diversity, community composition
