OpenAlex İngilizce

The aim of this study was to determine the fungal and bacterial microbiomes of broomrape species (Orobanche ramosa and O. crenata) encountered in their major host crops in different districts of Hatay province of Türkiye. Fungal isolates obtained from plants showing disease symptoms were identified as Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium incarnatum, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Alternaria alternata, Epicoccum nigrum, Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus oryzae as a result of morphological, MALDI-TOF MS and molecular identification studies. Antagonist/plant growth promoting bacterial species such as Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus mycoides, Bacillus weihenstephanensis, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus putida, Bacillus simplex, Enterobacter cloacae, Glutamicibacter mysorens, Lysinibacillus sphaericus, Pseudomonas cedrina ssp. cedrina, Pseudomonas chlororaphis, Pseudomonas pseudomycoides, Pseudomonas trivialis, Pseudomonas thivervalensis, Pseudomonas umsongensis, Rhizobium radiobacter, Solibacillus silvestris, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Variovorax paradoxus were isolated from healthy broomrape plants and pathogenic bacterial species such as Pseudomonas cichorii, Pseudomonas corrugata, Pseudomonas marginalis and Pseudomonas mediterranea were isolated from plant samples of broomrape plants showing symptoms of disease and identified by MALDI-TOF MS analysis.
