Figures & Tables

Fig. 1.

The hypothesis of maintaining the stable colonized microbes of the plant-LPFs in H. cordata.

Fig. 2.

Phylogenetic tree of the fungi isolated from the rhizomes of H. cordata based on sequences of the ITS region.

Fig. 3.

LPFs isolated from stems of H. cordata: A) surface side, B) reverse side and C) a germinated spore of IL on PDA, D) surface side, E) reverse side and F) two types including smooth (a) and rough (b) of mycelium of UFS on PDA, G) surface side, H) reverse side and I) broom-shaped sporangia of PC on PDA. IL – I. liriodendri, UFS – an unidentified fungal sp., PC – P. citrinum.

Fig. 4.

Direct inoculation assays showed the effects of the LPFs on H. cordata sterile seedlings in sterilized soils (A, B, C and D) and non-sterile soils (D, E, F and H) at the 15th day.A) the sterile seedling was watered with sterile water as a control in sterilized soils, B) the sterile seedling was added with I. liriodendri in sterilized soils, C) the sterile seedling was added with an unidentified fungal sp. in sterilized soils, D) the sterile seedling was added with P. citrinum in sterilized soils, E) the sterile seedling was watered with sterile water as a control in non-sterile soils, F) the sterile seedling was added with I. liriodendri in non-sterile soils, G) the sterile seedling was added with an unidentified fungal sp. in non-sterile soils, H) the sterile seedling was added with P. citrinum in non-sterile soils.

Fig. 5.

The effects of inoculating the LPFs in sterilized soils (A, B, C and D) and non-sterile soils (D, E, F and H) on H. cordata at the 15th day.A) the sterile seedling was watered with sterile water as a control in sterilized soils, B) the sterile seedling was added with I. liriodendri in sterilized soils, it died, C) the sterile seedling was added with an unidentified fungal sp. in sterilized soils, D) the sterile seedling was added with P. citrinum in sterilized soils, E) the sterile seedling was watered with sterile water as a control in non-sterile soils, F) the sterile seedling was added with I. liriodendri in non-sterile soils, G) the sterile seedling was added with an unidentified fungal sp. in non-sterile soils, H) the sterile seedling was added with P. citrinum in non-sterile soils. Different letters in the one group represent significant differences (p < 0.05).

Fig. 6.

A direct antagonisms on PDA medium. Antagonism assays among LPFs: 4 mm fungal plugs were placed 3 cm at distance and cultured at 28°C in darkness. The image was taken at the 7th day.A) interaction between IL and PC, B) interactions between IL and UFS, C) interactions between UFS and PC. IL – I. liriodendri, UFS – an unidentified fungal sp., PC – P. citrinum.

Fig. 7.

Average diameter of LPFs including A) IL, B) UFS, and C) PC on PDA comprising of different concentrations of from H. cordata rhizome extracts. The diameter was recorded at the 8th day. IL – I. liriodendri, UFS – an unidentified fungal sp., PC – P. citrinum. Different letters in the one group represent significant differences (p < 0.05), ns – not significant difference.

Fig. 8.

Effects of IL, UFS, and PC on H. cordata rhizome phenolic compounds including A) chlorogenic acid, B) rutin, C) afzelin, D) isoquercitrin, and E) quercitin in H. cordata. IL – I. liriodendri, UFS – an unidentified fungal sp., PC – P. citrinum. There not the quercetin concentrations in the Figure because quercetin was not detected in any of the H. cordata rhizome samples. Any two samples in the same column with different letters were significantly different (p < 0.05).
