Coupling of the chemical niche and microbiome in the rhizosphere: implications from watermelon grafting

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2016, 3(3): 249–262

The original version of this article unfortunately contained a serious omission. Fig. 8, as presented in the conclusions of this article without a reference, was a modified version of figure 2 presented in Chapelle et al.(2016). Now, we’ve obtained permission from the ISME Journal to reuse and modify this figure. The corrected illustration in Fig. 8 is given below:

Fig. 8 Schematic representation of the disease resistance mechanism achieved through grafting (modified from Chapelle et al.^[60], with permission from Springer Nature (The ISME Journal)). Before the pathogen successfully invades the roots, it must break through two barriers in the rhizosphere: one is the biological barrier (the blue arc) comprising diverse bacteria, and the other barrier is the chemical barrier (the red arc) consisting of some anti-fungal compounds in rhizodeposits.

Reference 60 should also be added:
