Multi-omics reveals novel forage advantages of <i>Potentilla anserina</i> Linnaeus in high-salt habitats.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Potentilla anserina Linnaeus (P. anserina) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine with ethnic characteristics that grows in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. It has the potential to be used as a novel feed for ruminants. However, the large area of saline-alkaline soils makes it difficult to rationally use Portulaca oleracea as a feed.

Methods

In this study, the effects of volatile metabolites, non-volatile, bacteria and fungi in stems and leaves of P. anserina under three different treatments (fresh grass, hay and silage) in high-salt were investigated using metabolomics and microbiological methods.

Results

Silage under salt stress also improved crude protein and crude fat content compared to hay and fresh treatments. A total of 996 vola
