Abstract
Soil is the material basis of ginseng survival, and revealing the correlation between soil and ginsenoside has far-reaching significance for the sustainable development of ginseng industry. In this study, the content of ginsenosides in 3-year-old ginseng roots, the physicochemical properties of rhizosphere soil and the microbial community composition were studied. The results showed that the contents of total saponins in different months were significantly different. The richness and diversity of soil microbial community decreased with the extension of planting time. The activities of complexed iron, organic matter and protease in soil had significant effects on α-diversity of soil microbial community. Functional gene analysis showed that carbon sequestration, protein translation, nitrogen metabolism, transcription factors and chlorophyll metabolism were the main functions of soil bacterial community. The results of correlation analysis and redundancy analysis showed that pH, available potassium, organic matter, complexed iron, Firmicutes and Acidobacteria were the key factors affecting ginsenoside accumulation. The changes of soil physical and chemical properties affect the abundance of soil microorganism, and the accumulation of ginsenoside in ginseng is affected by soil microorganism. A co-regulatory network of Physicochemical Properties-Microbe-Ginsenoside was established. To provide theoretical support for the cultivation of ginseng.
期刊介绍:
The translation of new discoveries in medicine to clinical routine has never been easy. During the second half of the last century, thanks to the progress in chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology, we have seen the development and the application of a large number of drugs and devices aimed at the treatment of symptoms, blocking unwanted pathways and, in the case of infectious diseases, fighting the micro-organisms responsible. However, we are facing, today, a dramatic change in the therapeutic approach to pathologies and diseases. Indeed, the challenge of the present and the next decade is to fully restore the physiological status of the diseased organism and to completely regenerate tissue and organs when they are so seriously affected that treatments cannot be limited to the repression of symptoms or to the repair of damage. This is being made possible thanks to the major developments made in basic cell and molecular biology, including stem cell science, growth factor delivery, gene isolation and transfection, the advances in bioengineering and nanotechnology, including development of new biomaterials, biofabrication technologies and use of bioreactors, and the big improvements in diagnostic tools and imaging of cells, tissues and organs.
In today`s world, an enhancement of communication between multidisciplinary experts, together with the promotion of joint projects and close collaborations among scientists, engineers, industry people, regulatory agencies and physicians are absolute requirements for the success of any attempt to develop and clinically apply a new biological therapy or an innovative device involving the collective use of biomaterials, cells and/or bioactive molecules. “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” aspires to be a forum for all people involved in the process by bridging the gap too often existing between a discovery in the basic sciences and its clinical application.
