Overview

Randomized trial shows enhanced wheat resistance to Fusarium crown rot, indicating novel eco-friendly management techniques.

Key Points

  • To explore how nano silica affects wheat's resistance to Fusarium crown rot through metabolic pathways and microbial community changes.
  • Conducted a pot experiment with 200 mg/L nano silica.
  • Integrated soil metagenomics, plant physiology, and metabolomics analyses.
  • Analyzed wheat response in terms of metabolite production and microbial community structure.
  • Increased SOD and POD activities by 14.5% and 169.9%, respectively.
  • Reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) content by 37.0%.
  • Upregulated lignin-related enzymes (PAL, C4H, and 4CL), promoting lignin accumulation and enhancing stem strength.
