Abstract
Activation of immune responses leads to an enrichment of beneficial microbes in rice panicle. We therefore selected the enriched operational taxonomy units (OTUs) exhibiting direct suppression effects on fungal pathogens, and established a simplified synthetic community (SynCom) which consists of three beneficial microbes. Application of this SynCom exhibits protective effect against fungal pathogen infection in rice.
