Plant-microbe interactions influence plant performance via boosting beneficial root-endophytic bacteria.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Salvia miltiorrhiza is a highly valuable medicinal plant and its cultivation is constrained by limited suitable land. Long-term continuous cropping practices alleviate limitations in planting area as well as causes the decline in plant yield and quality. Endophytic microorganisms colonize inside plant roots and are known to play important roles in improving the performance of model plants (such as Arabidopsis thaliana) and food crops (such as wheat, soybean, rice and maize). However, the understanding of how medicinal plants with different growth status (i.e., healthy and disease) shape the assembly of root-endophytic microorganisms and the functional importance of these microorganisms in improving plant performance remains largely unknown.
