INTRODUCTION: Plant pathogens pose a critical threat to global agriculture by significantly reducing crop productivity through the negative impact on plant physiology and associated microbial communities. Grapevines (Vitis vinifera), a high-value crop worldwide, are highly susceptible to a range of bacterial and fungal vascular pathogens. In this study, we investigated the effects of five major grapevine pathogens-Diplodia seriata, Eutypa lata, Neofusicoccum parvum, Phaeoacremonium minimum, and Xylella fastidiosa-on host microbiome composition and phenolic secondary metabolite profiles across multiple plant tissues.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: For grapevines infected with each of the five pathogens, a combination of 16S rRNA and Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequencing was performed alongside high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. Generated data were compared to observe if changes in host chemistry caused by infection from one of the pathogens could be associated with shifts in microbial communities both around and away from the initial infection sites.
RESULTS: We found that pathogen infection induced significant pathogen-specific alterations in both bacterial and fungal communities, predominantly at the inoculation site. Additionally, infections triggered localized changes in phenolic compounds, especially stilbenoids, consistent with host defense responses. Notably, fungal pathogens broadly disrupted bacterial communities, while X. fastidiosa had a more limited and distal effect.
DISCUSSION: Our findings highlight distinct microbiome and metabolic signatures associated with each pathogen and underscore the importance of examining different host tissues in studying plant-microbiome-pathogen interactions. These insights contribute to a systems-level understanding of grapevine disease ecology and may inform future strategies for monitoring and controlling pathogen spread in perennial crops such as grapevines.
