Significant Enrichment of Potential Pathogenic Fungi in Soil Mediated by Flavonoids, Phenolic Acids, and Organic Acids.

ABSTRACT: It is well established that root exudates play a crucial role in shaping the assembly of plant rhizosphere microbial communities. Nonetheless, our understanding of how different types of exudates influence the abundance of potential pathogens in soil remains insufficient. Investigating the effects of root exudates on soil-dwelling pathogenic fungi is imperative for a comprehensive understanding of plant-fungal interactions within soil ecosystems and for maintaining soil health. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of the principal components of root exudates-flavonoids (FLA), phenolic acids (PA), and organic acids (OA)-on soil microbial communities and soil properties, as well as to investigate their mechanisms of action on soil potential pathogenic fungi. The results demonstrated tha
