Randomized trial explores bacterial diversity in citrus leaves, revealing effective biocontrol against Xanthomonas citri, suggesting new management strategies.

Key Points

This research aims to investigate the diversity of endophytic microbiomes in citrus leaves and assess the biocontrol potential of specific bacterial strains against Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri.
Characterized endophytic microbiome through high-throughput sequencing of citrus leaves from southern China.
Identified and optimized fermentation parameters for four bacterial strains demonstrating antagonism against Xcc.
Conducted field trials to evaluate the control efficacy of formulated bacterial strains against citrus canker.
Four bacterial strains (A1, A3, A6, A7) showed significant antagonism against Xcc with control efficacies of 25.8% to 53.5%.
Strain A1 exhibited the highest and most sustained activity against Xcc in trials.
Bacterial strains A3, A6, and A7 also displayed broad-spectrum antibacterial effects against other plant pathogens.
