Project description:IntroductionCistanche salsa (C.A.Mey.) G. Beck is a perennial holoparasitic herb recognized for its medicinal properties, particularly in kidney-tonifying and laxative treatments. Despite its therapeutic potential, little is known about the endophyte communities inhabiting C. salsa and its host plants, and how these microorganisms may impact the production and accumulation of metabolites in C. salsa.MethodsWe conducted a dual analysis focusing on metabolomics of wild C. salsa and microbiome characterization of both C. salsa and its host plant, Kalidium foliatum (Pall.) Moq. The metabolomics analysis revealed variations in metabolite composition across different parts of C. salsa. Additionally, the microbiome analysis involved studying endophytic bacteria and fungi, comparing their community structures between parasitic C. salsa and its host plant.ResultsSignificant variations in metabolite composition were observed through metabolomic profiling, which identified 93 secondary metabolites and 398 primary metabolites across various parts of C. salsa. Emphasis was placed on differences in metabolite composition within the flowers. Microbiome analysis revealed differential community compositions of endophytic bacteria between the parasitic and host plants, whereas differences in endophytic fungi were less pronounced. Certain endophytes, such as Bacteroidota, Proteobacteria, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota, were associated with the production of specific secondary metabolites in C. salsa, including the plant-specific compound salsaside.DiscussionOur findings highlight the intricate relationship between C. salsa and its endophytic microbiota, suggesting a potential role of these microorganisms in modulating the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds. The differential preferences of endophytic bacteria and fungi across various microenvironments within the parasitic plant system underscore the complexity of these interactions. Further elucidation of these dynamics could enhance our understanding of C. salsa's medicinal properties and its ecological adaptations as a holoparasitic herb.
