Biogeography influences plant–microbe interactions and natural soil suppressiveness to black root rot disease of tobacco

Overall, suppressiveness is influenced by both the geological origin and geographic positioning of the soils, with distinct patterns in the two regions. In Swiss soils, suppressiveness is primarily associated with major differences in rhizosphere microbiota composition and functions between suppressive and conducive soils. In contrast, in Savoie soils, suppressiveness is linked to distinct plant physiological responses (pointing to induced systemic resistance) rather than strong microbial shifts. This study highlights the importance of considering the biogeographic features shaping disease-suppressive soils and their microbiota-plant interactions.

Abstract

Overall, suppressiveness is influenced by both the geological origin and geographic positioning of the soils, with distinct patterns in the two regions. In Swiss soils, suppressiveness is primarily associated with major differences in rhizosphere microbiota composition and functions between suppressive and conducive soils. In contrast, in Savoie soils, suppressiveness is linked to distinct plant physiological responses (pointing to induced systemic resistance) rather than strong microbial shifts. This study highlights the importance of considering the biogeographic features shaping disease-suppressive soils and their microbiota-plant interactions.
