In order to illustrate the harm of pathogens to rare wild orchid plants
in karst areas, so as to better protect them, based on field investigations, lltmina
high-throughput sequencing was used to study the microbial diversity in the
rhizosphere soil of Paphiopedilum micranthum, and predict the function of
the flora. The results showed that the soil physical and chemical properties of
P. micranthum at different sampling points and different distribution points
were significantly different, but the differences in the physical and chemical
properties of the rhizosphere soil between infected and non-infected plants were not significant; except for individual plants, infected plants and non-infected
plants there is a significant difference in the diversity index of the soil bacterial
and fungal communities in the rhizosphere of the plant, while the richness
index of the fungus and bacterial communities is not significantly different; at
the phylum level, the relative abundance of the acid bacteria in the rhizosphere
soil bacteria of the diseased Paphiopedilum ( 25.48%) was significantly higher
than that of non-infected Paphiopedilum (15.26%); based on KEGG to compare
the phytopathogenic functional gene classification of infected Paphiopedilum
and non-infected Paphiopedilum rhizosphere soil, it was found that the two
pathways K01637 and K01467 were infecting Paphiopedilum. The abundance
in the samples increased significantly (p<0.05), indicating that these functional
pathways may be the pathways for pathogenic bacteria to invade wild
Paphiopedilum; Lefse analysis showed that Cladophialophora was significantly
enriched in the infected group, suspected of pathogenic bacteria. It can be
inferred from this that the differences in soil physical and chemical background
and soil nutrients may not be the main factors affecting P. micranthum. The
causes of P. micranthum are more complicated. Bacteria and fungi may be
the cause of P. micranthum. Bacteria, but the specific cause remains to be
determined by further research.
