... This suggests that bacterial communities contribute more to soil multifunctionality than fungal communities. The observed decrease in diversity and richness might stem from the fact that fungi tend to be more sensitive to environmental changes than bacteria during the decomposition of plant organisms [51,52]. ...

... Therefore, microbial associations in the soil are non-random and context-dependent (Zhou et al., 2021), and a series of changes in the environment surrounding microorganisms caused by fertilization will de nitely affect their interactions. Nevertheless, it is not fully understood how bacteria, fungi, and protists are ecologically associated in the context of organic and inorganic fertilization. ...

... Consequently, the selection of promising PGPM runs the risk of failing when transferred to complex field conditions (Parnell et al., 2016). To increase the efficiency of PGPM, we need to understand the interactions that shape the phenotype of the plant host by disentangling the relative contribution of (i) plant genotype, (ii) the environment, and (iii) the microbiome (Chang et al., 2021a;Oyserman et al., 2021). We are aware that the nutrient input reshape how plants recruit PGPM and may even reduce their contribution to plant growth and nutrient acquisition . ...

... Continuous cropping causes decreased yield among common crops, such as tomato (Solanum tuberosum) [52], ginseng (P. ginseng) [53], wheat (Triticum aestivum) [54], and fava bean (Vicia faba) [54,55]. In the present study, continuous cropping of A. mongholicus for at least 20 years was shown to reduce biomass by 70-80% (Fig. 1), which constitutes crop failure. ...

... The current study showed that Zygomycota, Basidiomycota, and Ascomycota were the major fungal phyla, and this was consistent with previous studies in paddy fields ( Fig. 7b; Zhang et al., 2019). The relative abundance of Basidiomycota and Zygomycota became lower and higher after biochar amendment in the 2014-2016 annual cycles, respectively (Fig. 6b). ...

... The effects of SL on plant-pathogen interactions have been reported in recent years [35,36]. In rice, SL biosynthesis mutant d17 and SL receptor mutant d14 showed higher susceptibility to P. oryzae than the wild type [35]. ...

... Intriguingly, recent studies revealed that plants can release SLs into the rhizosphere soil, where they alter soil microbial composition and diversity (17). Notably, the biosynthesis and perception of SLs in rice have been observed to have a significant impact on the composition of both bacterial and fungal commun ities in the roots (18). These findings highlighted the multifaceted and complex roles of SLs in plant-microbe interactions and the need for further investigation into their mechanisms. ...

... Modern (domesticated) rice, which is grown world-wide and is one of the most important cereals for human nutrition, has undergone significant modifications in plant morphology, yield, root architecture, and pathogen resistance due to domestication (Chen et al., 2020;Yu et al., 2021). Surprisingly, studies on AM properties in wild rice have only referred to one genotype ('Dongxiang'), and have reported on the abundance of AMF in soil and roots, as well as resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae in plants with and without AMF colonization (Shi et al., 2019;Tian et al., 2019;Huang et al., 2020). The impacts of rice domestication on AM properties and the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. ...

... Yet, WRKY and ERF were the most represented TF families in defense-related DEG clusters derived from the transcriptome analysis, which, when coupled with functional annotations of hub node targets, reinforced the pertinence of the two families for host defense. Moreover, the majority of hub genes identified here demonstrated differential expression in soybean upon various biotic and abiotic stresses (Fig 6D) [27, [95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103]. Additional efforts must be used to functionally validate TF-target predictions, which remains a bottleneck in GRN research [73,104]. ...

... Bacillus amylolyticus TB6, an anti-fungal strain with 1-aminocyclo propane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity, was isolated from the rhizosphere of Panax ginseng C. A. Mey. (Renshen in Chinese), which increased the expression of stress-inducing enzymes, such as polyphenol oxidase and catalase, thereby inducing resistance in plant systems (Tian et al., 2018). Panax notoginseng (Burk.) ...
