Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. Root-associated microbiota: the multifaceted hubs associated with environmental factors, growth status and accumulation of secondary metabolites
Abstract Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. is an important, perennial medicinal plant whose root microbiome is considered to play an important role in promoting accumulation of effective medicinal ingredients (liquiritin and glycrrhizic acid). Here, we report a comprehensive analysis of the microbial com...

description | Abstract Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. is an important, perennial medicinal plant whose root microbiome is considered to play an important role in promoting accumulation of effective medicinal ingredients (liquiritin and glycrrhizic acid). Here, we report a comprehensive analysis of the microbial community structural composition and metabolite-plant-microbes association of G. uralensis Fisch. We collected both soil and rhizosphere samples of G. uralensis from different environmental conditions (cultivated and wild) and growth years (grown for one year and three years). Our data revealed higher species diversity in the wild group than in the cultivated group. The core rhizosphere microbiome of G. uralensis comprised 78 genera, including Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, some of which were potential plant beneficial microbes. Our results suggest that the growth of G. uralensis has a correlation with the root-associated microbiota assemblage. Integrated analysis among rhizosphere microbial taxa, plant gene expressions, and liquiritin and glycrrhizic acid accumulation showed that the liquiritin and glycrrhizic acid accumulation exhibited associations with the rhizosphere microbial composition at the genus level. The results provide valuable information to guide cultivation of G. uralensis, and potentially to harness the power of the root-associated microbiota to improve medicinal plant production. |
