Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Arctigenin and isovanillic acid recruit Bacillus and Streptomyces to the soybean root endosphere.
- Association Flavonoids such as diosmetin attract Penicillium and Aspergillus to the soybean leaf endosphere.
- Intervention effect Both synthetic communities suppressed Fusarium root rot in susceptible soybean cultivars.
- Intervention effect Foliar application of top-down SynComs significantly enhanced soybean shoot growth.
- Mechanism Top-down SynComs activated MAPK-linked terpenoid and flavonoid pathways in soybean.
- Mechanism Bottom-up SynComs primarily modulated host carbon-nitrogen allocation, limiting pathogen resources.
