Other claims from this paper (15)
- Association Natural rhizobial and AMF inoculation affected soybean red crown rot, especially without phosphorus addition.
- Intervention effect Rhizobial inoculation significantly reduced soybean red crown rot severity and incidence in sand culture.
- Intervention effect AMF inoculation significantly reduced soybean red crown rot severity and incidence in sand culture.
- Intervention effect Co-inoculation with rhizobia and AMF especially reduced soybean red crown rot at low phosphorus.
- Intervention effect Rhizobial inoculation reduced soybean root colony-forming units by more than 50% at low phosphorus.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus addition enhanced root colony-forming units only under AMF inoculation.
- Intervention effect Root exudates from rhizobia-inoculated soybean significantly inhibited pathogen growth and reproduction.
- Intervention effect Root exudates from AMF-inoculated soybean significantly inhibited pathogen growth and reproduction.
- Intervention effect Rhizobial inoculation significantly increased most tested defense-related gene transcripts in soybean roots.
- Intervention effect AMF inoculation significantly increased most tested defense-related gene transcripts in soybean roots.
- Intervention effect PR2, PR3 and PR4 transcripts reached their highest levels with rhizobial and AMF co-inoculation.
- Intervention effect PR10 transcript reached its highest level with rhizobial and AMF co-inoculation.
- Mechanism The authors interpret rhizobial and AMF inoculation as directly inhibiting pathogen growth and reproduction.
- Mechanism The authors interpret rhizobial and AMF inoculation as activating soybean defense through increased PR gene expression.
- Recommendation The authors recommend rhizobia and AMF inoculation with optimal phosphorus fertilization for soybean red crown rot control in acid soils.
