Soil organic amendments with Polygonum cuspidatum residues enhance growth, leaf gas exchange, and bioactive component levels

Frontiers in Plant Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16

Published: April 25, 2025

The extracted residue of Polygonum cuspidatum (a valuable medicinal plant) rhizome is discarded as waste, while it unclear whether returning this to the field would be beneficial for growth and its active component production P . This study aimed investigate effects applying residues (PRs) on plant growth, photosynthetic activities, root indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) zeatin riboside (ZR) levels, (polydatin, resveratrol, emodin) contents, expression resveratrol-associated genes ( PcRS PcPKS1 ) in plants. experiment comprised four treatments, namely, application potassium sulfate compound fertilizer at a rate 50 kg/667 m 2 PRs rates 1500 (PR1500), 2500 (PR2500), 4000 (PR4000), along with control (CK) receiving no additional substances. Two years later, both PR treatments led substantial increases height, stem diameter, leaf number, number nodes main stems, aboveground (leaf, branch, stem) biomass production, depending used doses applied. Among them, PR2500 treatment exhibited superior performance. Additionally, these significantly boosted IAA (11.0−41.7%) ZR (17.8−46.0%) demonstrating highest efficacy. Root levels were p < 0.01) positively correlated biomass. All except PR4000, elevated SPAD values, net photosynthesis rate, transpiration intercellular CO concentration leaves, showing most pronounced improvements. Fertilization polydatin (6.6−22.0%), emodin (12.1−43.3%), resveratrol (17.8−69.3%, PR4000) significant up-regulation down-regulation roots.

Biofertilizers offer a sustainable method for improving rice growth and productivity, yet their effects on the interaction between plant growth, photosynthetic activity, gene expression remain under-researched. This study examines how biofertilizer influences physiology, focusing regulation of chlorophyll-related genes. Eight fertilizer treatments were applied: control (CNT), (BF), deactivated (DABF), straw (RS), with (RS+BF), organic (OF), (OF+BF), inorganic (IOF). Plant height, tiller number, SPAD, NDVI, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis rates measured, while analysis was conducted using RT-qPCR. The OF+BF treatment produced most significant results, leading to 31% increase in 135% 42% content (SPAD values) compared control. Additionally, enhanced efficiency by 74%, highest net rate 48.23 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1. Gene revealed that upregulated key photosynthesis-related genes, such as OsChlD OsCHLM, showing 70% 90% expression. These findings highlight potential integrating biofertilizers fertilizers sustainably boost contributing global food security climate change mitigation.
