Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Intercropping markedly enriched Bradyrhizobium in the maize-soybean interaction-zone rhizosphere.
- Observation Soybean roots released 5-8 times more flavonoids than maize.
- Observation Soybean-derived flavonoids recruited Bradyrhizobium to the maize rhizosphere.
- Observation Soybean-derived flavonoids enhanced soil phosphate availability.
- Observation Inoculation with Bradyrhizobium promoted maize root elongation.
- Observation Inoculation with Bradyrhizobium promoted maize nutrient uptake.
- Observation Transcriptomics showed activation of the phenylpropanoid-flavonoid pathway in maize.
- Observation Transcriptomics showed repression of flavonol biosynthesis in maize.
- Mechanism Bradyrhizobium may stimulate maize root growth via a flavonoid-auxin regulatory module.
