Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect BV elevated fruit soluble sugar, soluble protein and vitamin C contents.
- Intervention effect BV significantly restructured rhizosphere and root endosphere microbial communities.
- Intervention effect Actinomadura was enriched in the rhizosphere.
- Intervention effect Luteitalea was enriched in the rhizosphere.
- Intervention effect Chryseobacterium was enriched in the root endosphere.
- Intervention effect Pseudomonas was enriched in the root endosphere.
- Intervention effect Microbial shifts significantly increased soil nitrate nitrogen by 42.06%.
- Intervention effect Microbial shifts significantly increased soil available phosphorus by 34.34%.
- Mechanism URE, CAT and INV activities were upregulated, enhancing carbon and nitrogen transformation.
- Observation Organic nitrogen compounds and nucleotides were upregulated.
- Observation Signaling molecules including benzothiazepines and saccharolipids were upregulated.
- Observation Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis was downregulated.
- Mechanism Metabolomic changes indicate resource allocation shifting from defense to growth promotion.
- Association Microbial communities correlated positively with soil nutrients and beneficial metabolites in the BV network.
- Mechanism The BV microbe–soil–metabolite network synergistically improves nutrient cycling and energy metabolism.
