Use of Acyl-Homoserine Lactones Leads to Improved Growth of Ginseng Seedlings and Shifts in Soil Microbiome Structure
<i>Panax ginseng</i> is a well-known medicinal plant that achieves strong resistance against plant pathogens while growing in the wild. Due to the high market demand for ginseng as a health food source, ginseng cultivation is prevalent in South Korea. However, continuous monocropping cre...
