Title

Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Ungrafted watermelons grew better in heterospecific conditioned soil.
- Intervention effect Grafted watermelons grew better in conspecific conditioned soil.
- Association The contrasting growth responses were experimentally linked to microorganism changes.
- Association Rhizobium abundance significantly influenced conspecific plant-soil feedback.
- Association Chryseobacterium abundance significantly influenced conspecific plant-soil feedback.
- Association Fusarium abundance significantly influenced conspecific plant-soil feedback.
- Association Aspergillus abundance significantly influenced conspecific plant-soil feedback.
- Intervention effect Ungrafted plants in heterospecific soil enriched arginine biosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Grafted plants in conspecific soil increased sphingolipid metabolism.
- Observation Metagenome-assembled genomes in heterospecific soil of ungrafted plants included Chryseobacterium and Lysobacter.
- Mechanism Metabolic reconstruction suggested Chryseobacterium can convert D-glucono-1,5-lactone to gluconic acid.
- Recommendation The authors suggest grafting can optimize microbiota benefits for plant growth.
