Abstrakt: Through the recent advances of modern high-throughput sequencing technologies, the "one microbe, one disease" dogma is being gradually replaced with the principle of the "pathobiome". Pathobiome is a comprehensive biotic environment that not only includes a diverse community of all disease-causing organisms within the plant but also defines their mutual interactions and resultant effect on plant health. To date, the concept of pathobiome as a major component in plant health and sustainable production of alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.), the most extensively cultivated forage legume in the world, is non-existent. Here, we approached this subject by characterizing the biodiversity of the alfalfa pathobiome using high-throughput sequencing technology. Our metagenomic study revealed a remarkable abundance of different pathogenic communities associated with alfalfa in the natural ecosystem. Profiling the alfalfa pathobiome is a starting point to assess known and identify new and emerging stress challenges in the context of plant disease management. In addition, it allows us to address the complexity of microbial interactions within the plant host and their impact on the development and evolution of pathogenesis.
