- 摘要:
- 根鞘作为植物根系与土壤界面之间的关键功能结构,是由根系分泌物、根毛、土壤颗粒及微生物群落共同作用形成的复合体。近年来,随着全球气候变化加剧及可持续农业发展需求增长,根鞘研究在植物生理生态学领域取得了显著进展。该研究系统阐述了根毛、根系分泌物及微生物群落对根鞘形成机制的关键功能,并探讨了根鞘在土壤结构改良、水分保持与养分循环等生态功能方面的研究突破,以及当前研究仍面临根鞘基因调控网络解析不足、根鞘-微生物互作信号机制不明等挑战,以期为进一步探索根鞘调控机制及其在生态修复与资源高效型农业中的应用提供参考依据。
- Abstract:
- The rhizosheath,a critical functional structure at the plant root-soil interface,is a composite formed through synergistic interactions among root exudates,root hairs,soil particles,and microbial communities.In recent years,against the backdrop of intensifying global climate change and growing demands for sustainable agriculture,research on rhizosheaths has achieved significant progress in plant physio-ecology.The pivotal roles of root hairs,root exudates,and microbiomes in rhizosheath formation mechanisms were systematically elucidated.Furthermore,it explored breakthroughs in understanding the ecological functions of rhizosheaths-including soil structure improvement,water retention,and nutrient cycling-while highlighting persistent challenges such as incomplete resolution of rhizosheath-related gene regulatory networks and unclear signaling mechanisms in rhizosheath-microbiome interactions,in order to provide references for advancing rhizosheath regulation mechanisms and their applications in ecological restoration and resource-efficient agriculture.
