  Studying the relationship between rhizosphere microorganisms and root exudates is of great significance for the interaction between rhizosphere microorganisms and plants, and the prevention and control of soil-borne diseases. This article analyzed the effects of different microorganisms on tobacco root exudates and rhizosphere microorganisms. It was found that the bacterial wilt pathogen can greatly increase acids and amines, while the probiotic 
  B. amyloliquefaciens ZM9 can eliminate some acids and amines. The results of the study show that the root exudates of pathogenic bacteria may contain a variety of allelochemicals that cause soil-borne diseases.

Root exudates are important intermediates in the interaction between rhizosphere microorganisms and plants [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref12">12</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref13">13</xref>]. To study the interaction between rhizosphere microorganisms and root exudates is useful for exploring the interaction between rhizosphere microorganisms and plants. And the realization of comprehensive index evaluation for plant growth, soil-borne diseases and insect pests, etc. is of great significance.</p><p>The current research on the interaction between rhizosphere microorganisms and root exudates mainly focuses on the regulation of rhizosphere microbe formation, microbial metabolism, growth and diversity by root exudates [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref14">14</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref15">15</xref>]. In fact, rhizosphere microorganisms can stimulate the abundance or quality of root exudates to affect plant growth by absorbing certain specific components in root exudates [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref16">16</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref17">17</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref18">18</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref19">19</xref>]. For example, inoculation of B. subtilis B26 not only increased the yield of rape (B. distachyon), but also markedly enhanced drought resistance [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref20">20</xref>]. Even in the absence of nitrogen, Azospirillum and Herbaspirillum could promote the growth of rape [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref21">21</xref>]. These studies show that rhizosphere microorganisms play a potential role in plant root exudates. However, due to the complexity of soil microorganisms in a heterogeneous environment, it is more technically challenging to explore how soil microorganisms directly affect the changes of root exudates, so there are relatively few studies.</p><p>In this paper, tobacco is used as the research material to detect and analyze the composition of tobacco root exudates under the action of different rhizosphere microorganisms by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Research on signal transmission and other aspects provide effective information and provide new clues for the prevention and control of tobacco soil-borne diseases.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

The integrity of DNA samples were determinde by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. Then the concentration and purity of the DNA were determined using a Nanodrop ND-1000 Spectrophotmeter (Nanodrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA). The extracted soil DNA was used as template to amplify 16S rRNA gene. The V4 region of 16S rRNA gene were amplified with the primers 515F (5’-GTGCCAGCMGCCGCGGTAA-3’) and 806R (5’-GGACTACHVGGGTWTCTAAT-3’)5. All PCR reactions were performed on Illumina HiSeq platforms (Illumina Inc., USA) at Novogene Bioinformatics Technology Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China). The library quality was assessed on the Qubit@ 2.0 Fluorometer (Termo Scientifc) and Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 system. Sequences analysis was performed by Uparse software (Version 7.0.1001, http://drive5.com/uparse/). Sequences with ≥97% similarity were assigned to the same OTUs. Each representative sequence was screened for further taxonomic information annotation. FASTX Toolkit 0.0.13 software package was used to preliminarily filtrate the raw sequence data with removing the low mass base at the tail of the sequence (Q value less than 20) and the sequences with lengths less than 35 bp. The sequence quality was statistically analyzed by CASAVA1.8, and finally, the length of the valid reads was approximately 250 bp.

Results and Analysis</title><sec id="s3_1"><title>3.1. Diversity of Tobacco Root Exudates among Diferent Treatments</title><p>GC-MS analyzed the composition changes of the root exudates of Yunyan 87 under different treatments. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>, in the GC-MS total ion chromatogram after the bacterial wilt pathogen treatment, we can see 37 peaks, indicating that there are 37 types of root exudates. The composition changes of root exudates under different treatments were compared by GC-MS analysis, and it was found that different microorganisms have certain influence on the types of tobacco root exudates.</p><p>GC-MS analyzed the composition changes of the root exudates of Yunyan 87 under different treatments. Excluding the components whose types and contents did not change under the three conditions, under the action of R. solanacearum, acids, alcohols, amines and esters accounted for 39.02%, 4.75%, 29.91%, and 9.10%, respectively. Under the action of its antagonistic B. amyloliquefaciens ZM9, acids, alcohols, amines and esters accounted for 16.58%, 5.35%, 10.23%, and 19.65%, respectively. After removing the components whose types and contents did not change under the three conditions, under the action of R. solanacearum, the types of root exudates of Yunyan 87 increased by 19 components and decreased by 3 components compared with the control group. The increased components mainly include 3 kinds of amines, 6 kinds of alcohols, 8 kinds of acids, 1 kind of sugars, 1 kind of esters; the reduced components are diethylene glycol, phenethyl alcohol and triethylene glycol (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref>(A)). After adding B. amyloliquefaciens ZM9, 24 kinds of ingredients are added, 6 of which are newly added; 6 kinds of ingredients are reduced, including 6 kinds of thiodiglycol, 1-butanol, sebacic acid, benzimidate hydrochloride, isophthalic acid, and cyclopropane Completely disappear. Compared with the types of root exudates in the T1 group and the T2 group, there were 2 more types and 6 less components. Principal coordinate analyses (PCoA) were carried out using weighted UniFrac distance in different treatments, and PC1 and PC2 explained 74.96% of root exudates. The CK groups in different periods are clustered together, and the root exudates of the corresponding T1 and T2 groups in different periods are clustered together, and the root exudates under different treatments in the same period are separated from each other. This result shows that the change of root exudates has little relationship with time, and is mainly affected by microorganism (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref>(B)). The heat map analysis of the top 53 root exudates with hierarchical clustering is used to discuss the composition changes of root exudates under different treatments. There are differences in the composition of root</p><p>exudates between different treatments in the heat map. The treatment of R. solanacearum significantly increased the abundance of 3-hydroxybutyricacid, sucrose, cyclopropane, hydroabietic acid, l-butanol, benzimidate, hydrochloride, 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic, glycerol monostearate, and dodecanoic acid. In contrast, the treatment of B. amyloliquefaciens ZM9 increased terephthalic acid, d-Mannitol, myo-Inositol, 2,3-Butanediol, propyl heptanoate, Silanol, 1-monopalmitin, glycerol, benzoic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, octanoic acid, urea, d-Pinitol, octanoic acid these abundance. Results indicate that the treatment of different microorganisms has a great influence on the composition of tobacco root exudates (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref>(C)). Comprehensive analysis found that stearic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid, octanoic acid, myristic acid, itaconic acid, isophthalic acid, dodecanoic acid, benzoic acid, 3-hydroxybutyric acid and 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid fluctuates the most (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref>(D)).</p></sec><sec id="s3_2"><title>3.2.

It can be seen from the data that the OTUs, Chao1 and Shannon indexes in the rhizosphere soil treated by R. solanacearum were significantly lower than those in the CK and T2 groups. Compared with the CK group, the OTUs and Chao1 indexes of the B. amyloliquefaciens ZM9 treatment were slightly higher.

Fungal Composition in Soils</title><p>In tobacco soil samples with different treatments, Ascomycota accounted for 35.12% - 62.8% of the top 10 fungi phyla. Followed by Aphelidiomycota (6.52% - 12.64%), Basidiomycota (4.34% - 8.9%), Mortierelomycota (2.12% - 3.61%), Olpidiomycota (1.02% - 1.23%), Rozellomycata, Glomeromycota, Mucoromycota, Monoblepharomycota and Aphelidiomycota. Among the 10 dominant bacteria, the relative abundance of Ascomycota, Aphelidiomycota and Basidiomycota exceeded 4% (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>(A)). Using the weighted UniFrac distance for principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) in different treatments, PC1 and PC2 explained 66.76% of the total fungal community. The fungal communities of the CK group at different time periods gathered together, the corresponding fungal communities of the T1 and T2 groups at different time periods gathered together, and the fungal communities of different treatment groups were separated from each other (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>(B)). There are differences in the fungal community structure between different treatments in the heat map. The treatment of R. solanacearum did not make much difference in the fungal community; while the treatment of B. amyloliquefaciens ZM9 increased the abundance of Ascobolus, Serendipita, Rhizoctonia, Conlarium, Papulasporiella, Candida, Entoloma, Entoloma, Ceratobasidium and Chaetomium. The two treatments are very different from the CK group. These results indicate that different microorganisms have a greater impact on the structure of the fungal community (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>(C)). Further analysis was carried out at the genus level, and the different distributions of the first 30 abundance fungal genera in the three treatments are shown in the figure. There</p><p>were significant differences in 4 fungal genera among the 3 treatments, namely Trichoderma, Fusarium, Aspergillus and Alternaria (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>(D)).</p></sec><sec id="s3_6"><title>3.6. The Relationship between Root Exudates and Microbial</title><p>Redundant analysis (RDA) was used to analyze the relationship between root exudates and microbial community structure under different treatments. The results showed that the community variation of bacteria and fungi was 39.85% and 43.96%, respectively (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5</xref>). Benzoic acid, propionic acid, sebacic acid, caprylic acid, palmitic acid, oxalic acid, myristic acid, and 3-hydroxybutyric acid are positively correlated with the bacteria Ralstonia, and negatively correlated with the bacteria Sphingobium, Sphingomonas, Haliangium, Flavobacterium, Paenibacillus, and Bacillus (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5</xref>(A)). Sphingosine, oxalic acid, benzoic acid, sebacic acid, propionic acid, myristic acid, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, palmitic acid are positively correlated with the fungi Fusarium and Alternaria, and negatively</p><p>correlated with the fungi Aspergillus and Trichoderma (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5</xref>(B)). Redundancy analysis shows that the microbial community has a greater impact on soil root exudates.</p></sec></sec><sec id="s4"><title>4. Discussion</title><p>Plant-root exudates-rhizosphere microbes form a cyclic interaction relationship [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref23">23</xref>]. Rhizosphere microorganisms transform the organic nutrients of root exudates into inorganic nutrients to promote plant absorption and utilization, thereby affecting the comprehensive indicators of plants [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref24">24</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref25">25</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref26">26</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref27">27</xref>]. By analyzing the changes in tobacco root exudates under the action of different microorganisms, the study found that when the pathogenic microorganisms in tobacco rhizosphere microorganisms increase, tobacco root exudates increase significantly. When the abundance of bacterial wilt in the rhizosphere increases, organic acids and amines increase greatly. When adding B. amyloliquefaciens ZM9, the composition of root exudates changed significantly, adding 24 kinds of ingredients, but thiodiglycol, 1-butanol, sebacic acid, benzimidate, hydrochloride, valtrate, dicarboxylic acid and cyclopropane disappeared completely. Although the mechanism of action of propionic acid, myristic acid, ethyl benzoate and sebacic acid is not clear, studies have confirmed that terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid and benzoic acid have allelopathic and autotoxic effects on many crops. The significant increase in pathogen abundance is an important factor leading to continuous cropping obstacles [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref28">28</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref29">29</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref30">30</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref31">31</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref32">32</xref>]. It is speculated that the possible mechanism is the increase in pathogen abundance [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.112215-ref33">33</xref>], which induces crops to produce allelopathic autotoxins, thereby providing harmful bacteria, forming a vicious circle, and ultimately leading to continuous cropping obstacles. Although this conjecture needs to be further confirmed, this study provides new clues for exploring tobacco continuous cropping obstacles and soil-borne diseases.</p></sec><sec id="s5"><title>5. Conclusion</title><p>Comprehensive treatment results of R. solanacearum and B. amyloliquefaciens ZM9 found that the change of root exudates has little to do with the time of tobacco transplantation, and is mainly affected by microorganisms. Comprehensive analysis found that stearic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid, caprylic acid, myristic acid, itaconic acid, isophthalic acid, dodecanoic acid, benzoic acid, 3-hydroxybutyric acid and 3,4-dimethoxy Benzoic acid is greatly affected by different microorganisms. Redundant analysis (RDA) analysis results show that benzoic acid, propionic acid, sebacic acid, caprylic acid, palmitic acid, oxalic acid, myristic acid and 3-hydroxybutyric acid are positively correlated with the pathogens of R. solanacearum. GC-MS analysis results also show that bacterial wilt pathogens can significantly increase the content of acids and amines, while B. amyloliquefaciens ZM9 can eliminate some acids and amines. The results of the bacterial alpha diversity index show that the treatment of R. solanacearum affects the richness and diversity of the soil bacterial community to a certain extent, and the treatment of its probiotic B. amyloliquefaciens ZM9 can increase the richness and diversity of the soil bacterial community. The research results show that the root exudates caused by the pathogen of R. solanacearum contain a variety of allelopathic substances, and B. amyloliquefaciens ZM9 can eliminate some allelopathic substances and enrich the soil microbial community.</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>This work was supported by the key technology projects of Hubei Tobacco Companies (No. 027Y2021-001) and the key technology projects of CNTC (No. 110201502014).</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>Conflicts of Interest</title><p>The authors declare no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this paper.</p></sec><sec id="s8"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>Guo, Q.Q., Yu, J., Sun, J.G., Wang, C.J., Chen, S.W., Yang, C.L. and Yang, Y.
