Tomatoes are an important crop worldwide and phytopathogens can cause devastating losses. Our study describes a treatment, consisting of Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 and either tomato seedling exudate or the exudate compound cytidine. The combination of A. brasilense Sp7 with cytidine showed a remarkable reduction of 83.4% in disease severity of tomatoes challenged with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000. Replacing cytidine with exudate was less effective at 71%, but the reduction in disease severity was still larger than by A. brasilense Sp7 alone at 55%. This reduction in disease severity was not paralleled by a decrease in P. syringae in leaf homogenates. Cytidine caused a 6.7 fold increase in A. brasilense Sp7 16S rDNA in root homogenates. In phyllosphere and rhizosphere, treatments modulated the microbial composition. In the phyllosphere, A. brasilense together with cytidine or tomato seedling exudate reduced the presence of eight human and/or plant pathogens in P. syringae challenged test groups. In the rhizosphere, principal component analysis revealed that variation along PC1 was dominated by the presence or absence of A. brasilense. Intriguingly, the inoculant caused an increase in the abundance of other Azospirillales species. Les tomates sont une culture dimportance mondiale, et les phytopathogenes peuvent entrainer des pertes devastatrices. Notre etude decrit un traitement compose dAzospirillum brasilense Sp7 et soit dun exsudat de plantules de tomate, soit de la cytidine, un compose particulier provenant des exsudats et suppose avoir un effet chimiotactique. Lassociation de A. brasilense Sp7 avec la cytidine a entraine une reduction remarquable de 83,4 % de la severite de la maladie parmi les plantes de tomate infectees par Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000. Le remplacement de la cytidine par des exsudats etait moins efficace (71 %), bien que la reduction de la severite de la maladie ait demeure superieure a celle obtenue avec A. brasilense Sp7 seul (55 %). Cette diminution de la severite de la maladie na toutefois pas ete accompagnee dune reduction de la concentration de P. syringae dans les homogenats foliaires. La cytidine a provoque une augmentation de 6,7 fois de lADNr 16S de A. brasilense Sp7 dans les homogenats racinaires. Dans la phyllosphere et la rhizosphere, les traitements ont module la composition microbienne. Dans la phyllosphere, A. brasilense associe a la cytidine ou aux exsudats de plantules de tomate a reduit la presence de huit agents pathogenes humains et/ou vegetaux. Dans la rhizosphere, lobservation la plus remarquable est que la composante (PC1) de lanalyse en composantes principales (ACP) etait fortement influencee par la presence ou labsence de linoculum. De maniere interessante, A. brasilense Sp7 a entraine une augmentation de labondance dautres especes dAzospirillales.
