Cadmium (Cd) poses a serious threat to plant growth, so the selection and breeding of Cd-tolerant pepper cultivars is an effective method to reduce Cd hazards. This study identified C. annuum G03 as a Cd-tolerant cultivar, evidenced by its superior leaf physiological activity under Cd stress comp...
Wheat is a major staple crop grown across the globe. Fusarium crown rot (FCR) of wheat, caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, is a destructive soil-borne disease that lacks effective sustainable control measures. Here, we assembled a cross-kingdom synthetic microbial community (SMC) comprising Tr...
We aim to investigate the changes in the structure and function of rhizosphere microorganisms when different concentrations of biogas slurry are applied to the rhizosphere of poplar trees. By measuring the variations and types of rhizosphere metabolites, we can determine the microbial changes and...
Background
Wheat crown rot (WCR) caused by Fusarium spp. lacks durable, sustainable control. Engineering the rhizosphere with defined synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) offers a route to combined disease suppression and growth promotion. We aimed to build a cross-kingdom SynCom and e...
Dried bulbs of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. (Liliaceae family) are medicinal materials used to clear heat and resolve phlegm. However, premature plant etiolation during cultivation reduces yield and hampers the industrial development of these plants. This study compared agronomic traits, soil prop...
