Peanut Root Exudates Suppress Fusarium solani and Modulate the Microbial Community Structure of Rhizosphere in Grape Replant Soil

Abstract

Replant disease significantly hinders the development of the grape industry, and the imbalance of the rhizosphere microecological environment is one of the fundamental reasons hindering grape replants. Peanut is a common intercropping crop, and whether the root exudates of peanut can alleviate grape replant obstacles is still unknown. In this study, the effects of exogenous peanut root exudates on replanting grapevine growth, and the microbial community structure of grapevine replant soils were studied. The results showed that peanut root exudates could promote the growth of replanting grapevine seedlings; enhance root vigor and SOD activity, increasing 55.18% and 95.71%, respectively; and reduce the MDA content of root, decreasing 31.10%. After peanut exudate treatment, the growth of Fusarium solanum, an important harmful fungus that is an obstacle to grape replant, was inhibited. The relative abundances of Gaiella in bacteria and Cystobasidium and Mortierella in fungi increased, and the potential pathogen fungi Fusicolla decreased. Peanut root exudates also modified the soil bacterial and fungal community in a certain range and increased the interaction among the bacteria of grapevine rhizosphere soil. However, they loosened the interaction among fungi. There are extensive mutualistic interactions among bacteria or fungi in grape rhizosphere assemblages after peanut exudates treatment. Therefore, peanut root exudates might be helpful in changing the soil microbial environment and alleviating the grape replanting obstacle.
