Pathogen drove the assemblage of beneficial bacteria in the P. heterophylla rhizosphere microbiome. The β-nearest taxon index (βNTI) (A) and the Raup-Crick metric (RCbray) (B) in the neutral model were used to assess the microbial community assembly processes. (C) A random forest (RF) model was used to screen the keystone taxa induced by disease and the relative abundances of Pseudomonas (D) and Fusarium (E) in the P. heterophylla rhizosphere soil
