Abstract:

It is aimed to obtain and compare the characteristics of fungal communities in bulk soil,rhizosphere and endophytic fungi of rhizome of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. High-throughput sequencing technology was used to analyze the structures and differences of fungal communities in bulk soil(S),rhizosphere(R)and endophytic fungi(P)of the rhizome of L. chuanxiong Hort. FUNGuild was used to analyze the functions of fungal communities. There were high abundant fungal communities in the bulk soil,rhizosphere and endophytic fungi of the rhizome of L. chuanxiong Hort. The evenness and diversity of the fungal community showed as S>R>P,while the richness showed as R>S>P. Specific dominated fungal flora varied in the three groups at different taxonomic levels. Meanwhile,the fungal communities were mainly affected by the sample type,with the largest differences between bulk soil and rhizome,followed by that between rhizosphere and plants,and the least among the soils. Differences among origin areas were observed in the three groups separately,and ranked as S>R>P. Besides,the effect of environmental factors on the communities of the bulk soil and rhizosphere was S>R. The fungal community in the bulk soil was dominated by saprotroph,followed by pathotroph;while the rhizosphere soil was dominated by pathotroph,followed by saprotroph;and the endophytic fungi was dominated by pathotroph. The fungal structural characteristics and ecological functions presented continuous and gradual changes in the bulk soil to the rhizosphere soil and then to the rhizome of L. chuanxiong Hort.,which proved that the plants obtained special fungi from the soil during the cultivation process,continuous accumulation and reduction of these fungi occurred,and then special endophytic fungal community was formed. This way may be an important strategy for the construction of its microecological community structure and provide a scientific reference for understanding the formation of the authentic quality of Chinese medicine.
