Genotype and environment factors driven licorice growth and rhizospheric soil fungal community changes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch.) is a widely recognized significant form of medicine in China, with a long-standing history and extensive usage. It is considered the oldest and most prevalent herbal medicine in China. Currently, the licorice market is confronted with the primary challenges of mixed genotypes, inconsistent quality, and inadequate glycyrrhizic acid content.

Methods

We conducted field experiments to investigate the impact of various cultivation locations on the growth characteristics, active ingredients, rhizospheric soil physicochemical properties and fungal communities of licorice that ten different genotypes.

Results

The findings indicated significant variations in these parameters across ten different genotypes of licorice
