Variety features differentiate microbiota in the grape leaves

Publication: Canadian Journal of Microbiology
8 June 2020

Abstract

The dependence of plant health and crop quality on the epiphytic microbial community has been extensively addressed, but little is known about plant-associated microbial communities under natural conditions. In this study, the bacterial and fungal communities on grape leaves were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene and internal transcribed spacer high-throughput sequencing, respectively. The results showed differences in the composition of the microbial communities on leaf samples of nine wine grape varieties. The most abundant bacterial genus was Pseudomonas, and the top three varieties with Pseudomonas were Zinfandel (22.6%), Syrah (21.6%), and Merlot (13.5%). The most abundant fungal genus was Alternaria, and the cultivar with the lowest abundance of Alternaria was Zinfandel (33.6%), indicating that these communities had different habitat preferences. The linear discriminant analysis effect size of all species showed that the bacteria Enterococcus, Massilia, and Kocuria were significantly enriched on the leaves of Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, respectively; Pseudomonadales and Pantoea on Zinfandel; and Bacillus, Turicibacter, and Romboutsia on Pinot Noir. Similarly, the fungi Cladosporium, Phoma, and Sporormiella were significantly enriched on Zinfandel, Lon, and Gem, respectively. Both Bray–Curtis and unweighted UniFrac revealed that bacteria and fungi have a significant impact (P < 0.01), and the results further proved that variety is the most important factor affecting the microbial community. The findings indicate that some beneficial or harmful microorganisms existing on the wine grape leaves might affect the health of the grape plants and the wine-making process.

Résumé

La dépendance de la santé des végétaux et de la qualité des cultures à l’égard de la communauté microbienne épiphyte a été largement abordée, mais on sait peu de choses sur les communautés microbiennes associées aux végétaux dans des conditions naturelles. Dans cette étude, les communautés bactériennes et fongiques présentes sur les feuilles de vigne ont été analysées par séquençage à haut débit du gène de l’ARNr 16S bactérien et de l’espaceur interne transcrit fongique. Les résultats ont montré des différences dans la composition des communautés microbiennes d’échantillons de feuilles de neuf variétés de raisin de cuve. Le genre bactérien le plus abondant était Pseudomonas et les trois principales variétés abritant Pseudomonas étaient le zinfandel (22,6 %), la syrah (21,6 %) et le merlot (13,5 %). Le genre fongique le plus abondant était Alternaria et le cultivar montrant la plus faible abondance d’Alternaria était le zinfandel (33,6 %), indiquant que ces communautés avaient des préférences d’habitat différentes. La taille de l’effet de l’analyse discriminante linéaire de toutes les espèces a montré que les bactéries Enterococcus, Massilia, Kocuria, Pseudomonadales et Pantoea étaient significativement enrichies sur le merlot, la syrah, le cabernet sauvignon et le zinfandel, respectivement, alors que Bacillus, Turicibacter et Romboutsia étaient significativement enrichies sur le pinot noir. De même, les champignons Cladosporium, Phoma et Sporormiella étaient significativement enrichis sur le zinfandel, le longane et le gem, respectivement. La distance de Bray–Curtis et la distance de l’UniFrac non pondérée ont toutes deux révélé que les bactéries et les champignons ont un impact significatif (P < 0,01) et les résultats ont prouvé que la variété constitue le facteur le plus important qui affecte la communauté microbienne. Les résultats indiquent que certains microorganismes bénéfiques ou nuisibles présents sur les feuilles de vigne pourraient affecter la santé des plants de vigne et le processus de vinification.
