Differences in the endophytic fungal community and effective ingredients in root of three Glycyrrhiza species in Xinjiang, China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endophytic fungi influence the quality and quantity of the medicinal plant's bioactive compounds through specific fungus-host interactions. Nevertheless, due to the paucity of information, the composition of endophytic fungal communities and the mechanism by which effective ingredients regulate endophytic fungal communities in roots remains unclear.

Methods

In this study, we collected root and soil samples (depth range: 0-20, 20-40, and 40-60 cm) of three Glycyrrhiza species (Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Glycyrrhiza inflata, and Glycyrrhiza glabra). Glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritin content were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and total flavonoid content was determined using ultraviolet spectrophotometry. High-t
