Synergistic effect of grassland plants and beneficial rhizosphere bacteria helps plants cope with overgrazing stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Overgrazing (OG) is an important driver of grassland degradation and productivity decline. Highly effective synergy between plants and rhizosphere growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) may be a major way for grassland plants to effectively cope with OG stress. There have been few reports providing solid evidence on how this synergy occurs.

Result

This study combined with multi-omics analysis and the interaction effect of specific root exudate with PGPR B68, aiming to reveal the synergistic effect and regulatory mechanism of L. chinensis and PGPR under overgrazing stress. The results showed that Leymus chinensis plants with OG history can recruit the beneficial Phyllobacterium sp. B68 by regulating specific root exudate compounds(such as amino acid L-leucyl-L-alani
