Plant-insect interactions are often influenced by host-or insect-associated metagenomic community members.The relative abundance of insects and the microbes that modulate their interactions were obtained from sweetpotato(Ipomoea batatas)leaf-associated metagenomes using quantitative reduced representation sequencing and strain/species-level profiling with the Qmatey software.Positive correlations were found between whitefly(Bemisia tabaci)and its endosymbionts(Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa,Candidatus Portiera aleyrodidarum,and Rickettsia spp.)and negative correlations with nitrogen-fixing bacteria that implicate nitric oxide in sweetpotato-whitefly interaction.Genome-wide associations using 252 975 dosage-based markers,and metagenomes as a covariate to reduce false positive rates,implicated ethylene and cell wall modification in sweetpotato-whitefly interaction.The predictive abilities(PA)for whitefly and Ocypus olens abundance were high in both populations(68％-69％and 33.3％-35.8％,respectively)and 69.9％for Frankliniella occidentalis.The metagBLUP(gBLUP)prediction model,which fits the background metagenome-based Cao dissimilarity matrix instead of the marker-based relationship matrix(G-matrix),revealed moderate PA(35.3％-49.1％)except for O.olens(3％-10.1％).A significant gain in PA after modeling the metagenome as a covariate(gGBLUP,≤11％)confirms quantification accuracy and that the metagenome modulates phenotypic expression and might account for the missing heritability problem.Significant gains in PA were also revealed after fitting allele dosage(≤17.4％)and dominance effects(≤4.6％).Pseudo-diploidized genotype data underperformed for dominance models.Including segregation-distorted loci(SDL)increased PA by 6％-17.1％,suggesting that traits associated with fitness cost might benefit from the inclusion of SDL.Our findings confirm the holobiont theory of host-metagenome co-evolution and underscore its potential for breeding within the context of G × G × E interactions.
