CONCLUSIONS: Licorice specifically selects root-associated core bacteria over the course of plant development, and TK is correlated with root secondary metabolites and individual core-enriched taxa in the bulk and rhizosphere soils, which may have implications for practical licorice cultivation. The aims of this study were to (1) elucidate the temporal dynamics of root-associated bacterial communities together with variation in soil characteristics and secondary metabolite concentrations in roots; (2) investigate the core-enriched taxa and their time-decay relationships; and (3) provide a comprehensive understanding of the key factor(s) regulating the temporal dynamics of individual taxa related to root secondary metabolites in licorice. This study investigated the temporal succession of root-associated bacterial communities and simultaneous variation in soil characteristics and root secondary metabolites in licorice plants of different ages. ./cache/cord-031314-z74hhcy3.txt ./txt/cord-031314-z74hhcy3.txt
