Plant growth and stress-regulating metabolite response to biochar utilization boost crop traits and soil health.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The utilization of biochar (BC) as a soil amendment in agriculture has gained significant traction among many farmers and researchers, primarily due to its eco-friendly role in boosting crop output. However, the performance of specific metabolites (e.g., zeatin, melatonin, sucrose, and phenyllactic acid) in the various tissues of sugarcane plant (leaf, stem, and root) and rhizosphere soil-deemed plant growth and stress regulators in a long-term BC-amended field remains poorly understood. Additionally, literature on the shift in soil attributes and crop growth triggered by the strong response of these bioactive compounds to longterm BC utilization remains undocumented.

Methods

Metabolome integrated with highthroughput sequencing analyses were conducted to identif
