Abstract
Ephedra sinica is widely used in the treatment of diseases due to its rich and diverse pharmacological effects. The quality of E. sinica is various in different years. However, the effect of endophytes on the accumulation of metabolites of E. sinica in different years is still obscure. In this study, the relationship between the ecological succession of bacterial endophytes and metabolite accumulation of E. sinica grown in different years were generally investigated based on 1H NMR and 16 s rDNA sequencing. The results showed that 38 differential marker metabolites existed in E. sinica grown in different years. The distribution and abundance of bacterial endophytes changed during the growth of cultivated E. sinica, and there was remarkable correlation between the dominant endophytes and differential metabolites. This study provides a critical reference in evaluating and monitoring the quality of E. sinica in the process of cultivation, and establish a solid foundation for the use of species interactions to improve the quality of E. sinica in different years.
