Conceptualization to utilize microbial composition as a prediction tool has been widely applied in human cohorts, yet the potential capacity of soil microbiota as a diagnostic tool to predict plant phenotype remains unknown. Here, we collected 130 soil samples which are 54 healthy controls and 76 ginseng rusty roots (GRRs). Alpha diversities including Shannon, Simpson, Chao1, and phylogenetic diversity were significantly decreased in GRR (P < 0.05). Moreover, we identified 30 potential biomarkers.
