Medicinal Plant Root Exudate Metabolites Shape the Rhizosphere Microbiota.

ABSTRACT: The interactions between plants and rhizosphere microbes mediated by plant root exudates are increasingly being investigated. The root-derived metabolites of medicinal plants are relatively diverse and have unique characteristics. However, whether medicinal plants influence their rhizosphere microbial community remains unknown. How medicinal plant species drive rhizosphere microbial community changes should be clarified. In this study involving high-throughput sequencing of rhizosphere microbes and an analysis of root exudates using a gas chromatograph coupled with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, we revealed that the root exudate metabolites and microorganisms differed among the rhizosphere soils of five medicinal plants. Moreover, the results of a correlation analysis indicated that b
