<i>Dictyophora indusiata</i> and <i>Bacillus aryabhattai</i> improve sugarcane yield by endogenously associating with the root and regulating flavonoid metabolism.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Endophytes play a significant role in regulating plant root development and facilitating nutrient solubilization and transportation. This association could improve plant growth. The present study has uncovered a distinct phenotype, which we refer to as "white root", arising from the intricate interactions between endophytic fungi and bacteria with the roots in a sugarcane and bamboo fungus (Dictyophora indusiata) intercropping system.

Methods

We investigated the mechanisms underlying the formation of this "white root" phenotype and its impact on sugarcane yield and metabolism by metabarcoding and metabolome analysis.

Results and discussion

Initial analysis revealed that intercropping with D. indusiata increased sugarcane yield by enhancing t
