Developing disease-suppressive soils is an effective approach for managing soilborne diseases, which can be achieved through crop metabolism and root secretion modification to recruit beneficial soil microbiota. Many factors, such as light, can elicit and modify plant metabolomic activities, resulting in disease suppression. To investigate the impact of light, was planted in a greenhouse and forest, conditioned with three levels of light intensities, including the optimal (15% light transmittance of full light), suboptimal low (5% light transmittance of full light) and suboptimal high (30% light transmittance of full light) intensities.

Panax notoginseng-also known as Tianqi and Sanqi-is one of the most highly valued medicinal perennial herbs in the world (Wang et al. 2016). In August 2021, leaf spot was observed on P.

Plants can recruit beneficial microbes to help improve their fitness under abiotic or biotic stress. Our previous studies found that could enrich beneficial sp. B36 in the rhizosphere soil under autotoxic ginsenoside stress.

The under-forest economy in the agroforestry system can improve land use efficiency, protect ecological environment, and promote arable land sustainable development. However, the effects of soil moisture in the forest and irrigation strategies on the healthy growth of intercropping crops are still incomplete. Here, considering the organic Panax notoginseng cultivated under pine forests (PPF) as the research object, we explored the effects of different soil moisture on the physiological state, yield, quality and disease occurrence of PPF.

Negative plant-soil feedback (NPSF) due to the buildup of soilborne pathogens in soil is a major obstacle in sustainable agricultural systems. Beneficial rhizosphere microfloras are recruited by plants, and mediating this has become a strategic priority to manipulate plant health. Here, we found that foliar infection of Panax notoginseng by Alternaria panax changed plant-soil feedback from negative to positive.

Harnessing indigenous soil microbial suppression is an emerging strategy for managing soilborne plant diseases. Soil moisture is a vital factor in soil microbiomes, but its role in the regulation of microbial suppression is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the correlation of root rot disease of Panax notoginseng with rhizosphere microbial communities mediated by soil moisture gradients from 55% to 100% field capacity (FC); then, we captured the disease-suppressive and disease-inductive microbiomes and validated their functions by a culture experiment with synthetic microbiotas containing keystone species.

Management of crop root rot disease is one of the key factors in ensuring sustainable development in agricultural production. The accumulation of autotoxins and pathogens in soil has been reported as a primary driver of root rot diseases; however, less is known about the correlation of plants, their associated pathogens and microbiome mediated by autotoxins as well as the contributions autotoxins make to the occurrence of root rot disease. Here, we integrated metabolomic, transcriptomic, and rhizosphere microbiome analyses to identify the root cell wall degradants cellobiose and d-galacturonic acid as being induced by the autotoxic ginsenoside Rg of , and we found that exogenous cellobiose and d-galacturonic acid in addition to Rg could aggravate root rot disease by modifying the rhizosphere microbiome.

The accumulation of autotoxins and soilborne pathogens in soil was shown to be the primary driver of negative plant-soil feedback (NPSF). There is a concerted understanding that plants could enhance their adaptability to biotic or abiotic stress by modifying the rhizosphere microbiome. However, it is not clear whether autotoxins could enrich microbes to degrade themselves or antagonize soilborne pathogens.

There is a concerted understanding of the accumulation of soil pathogens as the major driving factor of negative plant-soil feedback (NPSF). However, our knowledge of the connection between plant growth, pathogen build-up and soil microbiome assemblage is limited. In this study, significant negative feedback between the soil and sanqi () was found, which were caused by the build-up of the soil-borne pathogens , , and .
