Abstract:BackgroundRoot rot disease caused by soilborne pathogens is a threat to agriculture, affecting plant survival and leading to yield losses. The soil in which plants grow is inhabited by bene cial microbiome playing essential roles in various aspects of host functionality and tness. However, this microbiome composition may change based on plant health status.
MethodsIn the current study, we tested the pathogenicity of pathogenic fungi isolated from root rot infected P. volubilis plant tissues by inoculating them… Show more
