Diversity and dynamics of fungal endophytes in the roots of Amomum villosum lour. Under different areas and growth ages.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the colonization and diversity of endophytic fungi in Amomum villosum roots across different planting locations and at various growth ages, and to analyze the fungal composition. In this study, we performed Illumina-based ITS sequencing to investigate the effects of growth ages and sample plots on the rhizosphere fungi of A. villosum. Colonization analysis revealed widespread colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and dark septate endophytes (DSEs), but colonization rates did not increase significantly with plant age. Glomus was the dominant AMF genus, while Exophiala, Cladosporium and Cladophialophora dominated the DSE community. Beneficial fungi included Phoma, Acremonium, Myrothecium and Trichoderma. Alpha and beta diversity analyses indicated that fungal diversity, abundance, and community composition were significantly influenced by planting location but not by plant age. Collectively, planting location drives divergent root fungal communities in A. villosum, while plant age selectively affects specific taxa. AMF and DSEs were considered to be dominant beneficial microorganisms and were largely responsible for the growth and development of A. villosum. This study provides valuable insights for identifying beneficial endophytic fungi in A. villosum and optimizes the application of AMF and DSE agents in its ecological cultivation.
