Dictyophora indusiata and Bacillus aryabhattai improve sugarcane yield by endogenously associating with the root and regulating flavonoid metabolism by Mingzheng Duan, Mingzheng Duan, Xiang Li, Xiaojian Wu, Shengfeng Long, Hairong Huang, Yijie Li, Qi-Huai Liu, Guanghu Zhu, Bin Feng, Sunqian Qin, Changning Li, Hai Yang, Jie Qin, Zhendong Chen, Zeping Wang

“…The present study has uncovered a distinct phenotype, which we refer to as "white root", arising from the intricate interactions between endophytic fungi and bacteria with the roots in a sugarcane and bamboo fungus (Dictyophora indusiata) intercropping system.MethodsWe investigated the mechanisms underlying the formation of this “white root” phenotype and its impact on sugarcane yield and metabolism by metabarcoding and metabolome analysis.Results and DiscussionInitial analysis revealed that intercropping with D. indusiata increased sugarcane yield by enhancing the number of viable tillers compared with bagasse and no input control. …”
