Light Stress-dependent Elicition of Soil Disease Suppressive Mediated by Root Flavonoids Secretion_4
Our research collectively indicates that both low and high light stress from aboveground can enhance the synthesis and secretion of secondary metabolites, thereby enriching the rhizosphere with beneficial microbiota to suppress soil-borne diseases and cope with stress (Model B). This unveils the light stress-dependent formation of disease-suppressive conditions in the rhizosphere, thus providing insights for developing a crop canopy fluctuating light adjustment strategy to effectively manage root rot disease in the field, promoting sustainable agriculture practices.
