Plant reproductive suppression triggers fatty acid-mediated enrichment of Mortierella for enhanced stress resilience.
Article in The ISME journal, 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
Reproductive growth suppression enhances plant productivity, yet its effects on the health and survival strategies of perennial flowering plants remain underexplored. This study investigates the trade-offs between growth and reproduction in Panax notoginseng, focusing on its relationship with rhizosphere microbiome. Through three-year, multi-site field experiments coupled with metabolomic and microbiome analyses, we demonstrate that suppressing reproductive growth significantly increases biomass, particularly in underground tissues. Mechanistically, this suppression activates fatty acid biosynthesis pathways, leading to the reallocation of fatty acid metabolites from aboveground to belowground tissues and enhancing the rhizospheric secretion of palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and stearic acid. These fatty acids specifically promote the growth of beneficial fungus Mortierella, which supports plant health and progeny development. Exogenous application of these fatty acids in field conditions further confirmed their role in enriching Mortierella, thereby improving plant productivity. Our findings uncover a microbial-mediated survival strategy in plants under reproductive suppression, offering mechanistic insights for sustainable rhizosphere management in perennial crops.
