Root mutualistic microbes can modulate the production of plant secondary metabolites affecting plant–herbivore interactions. Still, the main mechanisms underlying the impact of root mutualists on herbivore performance remain ambiguous. In particular, little is known about how changes in the plant...
Background and aims: Phosphate slag, a by-product of phosphorus and steel production, is a potential soil amendment that improves nutrient availability and redox stability. However, how it reshapes the rhizosphere microbiome and metabolism to promote tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) root developmen...
Plant roots host defined microbial communities that differ from those in the surrounding soil, and these communities shift dynamically in response to plant development and environmental changes. Whilst it is widely accepted that root exudates play a key role in the assembly and dynamics of root-a...

This project is based on non targeted metabolomics analysis of cassava (Manihot esculenta) root samples. LC-MS/MS is used to obtain metabolite characteristic peaks and perform peak extraction, alignment, and quantification. Differential metabolites are screened, with a focus on flavonoid and phen...
This study used in-situ soil from five different cultivation areas (Beijing, Henan, Sichuan, Shandong, Shaanxi) to plant 4 different varieties of Salvia miltiorrhiza. At the same time, Beijing soil was separately selected for bacterial agent pot experiments. These root exudates were collected at ...
Drought is one of the most severe abiotic stresses. However, there is a lack of genetic evidence regarding whether and how plants coordinate the dynamic assembly of the microbiome in response to drought. Through the use of mutants with enhanced or reduced root hair densities (rsl2 rsl4, hairless ...
