Other claims from this paper (16)
- Association Aureobasidium pullulans shows significantly higher detection rates in environments closely associated with human activities than in natural ecosystems.
- Intervention effect Soybean green manure intercropping significantly enhanced citrus fruit quality.
- Intervention effect Soybean green manure improved the soil environment of citrus orchards.
- Intervention effect Soybean green manure reshaped the soil microbial community in citrus orchards.
- Mechanism Improved citrus fruit quality under soybean green manure works through soil physicochemical properties and soil microbial communities.
- Observation The structure of the endophytic bacterial community in rice seeds varies significantly among varieties.
- Mechanism Rare taxa are the main drivers of community diversity and differentiation of rice seed endophytes.
- Observation Core taxa of rice seed endophytes are highly conserved across varieties.
- Observation Core taxa of rice seed endophytes occupy central positions in the co-occurrence network.
- Observation Five bacterial strains isolated from rice seeds showed plant growth-promoting characteristics in vitro.
- Intervention effect All strains promoted rice growth.
- Intervention effect All strains increased nitrogen accumulation in rice.
- Intervention effect All strains enhanced nitrogen use efficiency in rice.
- Association The growth-promoting effects of the strains in rice are co-regulated by strain identity and nitrogen supply levels.
- Intervention effect Under low nitrogen conditions, the growth-promoting effects of the strains in rice were pronounced.
- Mechanism Natural symbiotic bacterial communities enhance rice adaptability in low-nitrogen soils through nitrogen fixation, regulation of nitrogen metabolism and production of plant hormones.
