Project description:Endophytic fungi are fungi that live inside the roots of plants. They can promote plant growth through a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms. Direct mechanisms include the production of phytohormones, such as auxin and gibberellins, which can stimulate plant growth. Endophytic fungi can also fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphate, and produce siderophores, which are compounds that chelate iron and make it available to plants. In addition, some endophytic fungi produce antimicrobial metabolites that can protect plants from pests and pathogens. Indirect mechanisms include the induction of systemic resistance, which is a plant's ability to defend itself against pests and pathogens. Endophytic fungi can also help plants to tolerate abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and heavy metals. In this study, we used a proteomic approach to identify the proteins that are expressed in rice plants after they are treated with endophytic fungi. We found that the treatment with endophytic fungi resulted in the expression of a number of proteins involved in plant growth, stress response, and defense. These results suggest that endophytic fungi can promote plant growth and improve plant resilience to stress.

They can directly stimulate plant growth by producing phytohormones, such as auxin and gibberellins.

Project description:High ambient temperature regulated the plant systemic response to the beneficial endophytic fungus Serendipita indica. Most plants in nature establish symbiotic associations with endophytic fungi in soil. Beneficial endophytic fungi induce a systemic response in the aboveground parts of the host plant, thus promoting the growth and fitness of host plants. Meanwhile, temperature elevation from climate change widely affects global plant biodiversity as well as crop quality and yield. Over the past decades, great progresses have been made in the response of plants to high ambient temperature and to symbiosis with endophytic fungi. However, little is known about their synergistic effect on host plants. The endophytic fungus Serendipita indica colonizes the roots of a wide range of plants, including Arabidopsis. Based on the Arabidopsis-S. indica symbiosis experimental system, we analyzed the synergistic effect of high ambient temperature and endophytic fungal symbiosis on host plants. By transcriptome analysis, we found that DNA replication-related genes were significantly upregulated during the systemic response of Arabidopsis aboveground parts to S. indica colonization. Plant hormones, such as jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET), play important roles in plant growth and systemic responses. We found that high ambient temperature repressed the JA and ET signaling pathways of Arabidopsis aboveground parts during the systemic response to S. indica colonization in roots. Meanwhile, PIF4 is the central hub transcription factor controlling plant thermosensory growth under high ambient temperature in Arabidopsis. PIF4 is also involving JA and/or ET signaling pathway. We found that PIF4 target genes overlapped with many differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during the systemic response, and further showed that the growth promotion efficiency of S. indica on the pif4 mutant was higher than that on the wild type plants.

Project description:Plants coexist in close proximity with numerous microorganisms in their rhizosphere. With certain microorganisms, plants establish mutualistic relationships that can confer physiological benefits to the interacting organisms, including enhanced nutrient assimilation or increased stress tolerance. The root-colonizing endophytic fungi Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium minioluteum, and Serendipita indica have been reported to enhance the drought stress tolerance of plants. However, to date, the molecular mechanisms triggered by these fungi in plants remain unexplored. This study presents a comparative analysis of the effects on mock- and fungus-infected tomato plants (var. Moneymaker) under drought stress conditions (40% field capacity) and control conditions (100% field capacity). The findings provide evidence for the induction of common response modules by the fungi.

Project description:Global warming has become a critical challenge to food safety, causing severe yield losses of major crops worldwide. Here, we report that the endophytic bacterium Enterobacter sp. SA187 induces thermotolerance of crops in a sustainable manner. Microbiome diversity of wheat plants is positively influenced by SA187 in open field agriculture, indicating that beneficial microbes can be a powerful tool to enhance agriculture in open field agriculture.

Project description:<p>Entomopathogenic fungi have the ability to both directly kill insect pests and act as plant endophytic fungi to impact plant growth and development. Despite this, the widespread endophytic use of these fungi in tea plants (Camellia sinensis) is still limited. This study examined how Beauveria bassiana colonizes tea plant tissues and its impact on tea plant growth and development. Through amplicon sequencing and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), the study investigated the response patterns of dominant endophytic microbial populations in tea plants during fungal colonization and the alterations in secondary metabolites in tea plants due to the colonization process. B. bassiana effectively colonized tea seedlings through root irrigation and foliar spraying methods, showing a preference for stems, and the colonization persisted for more than 90 days. Colonization resulted in a reduction in the diversity and structural stability of the endophytic microbial community in tea plants; however, it also enhanced the importance of ecologically mutualistic relationships or cooperative interactions in community assembly. Additionally, colonization had a more pronounced effect on endophytic fungi compared to endophytic bacteria. It led to an increase in the relative abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in root tissues and a decrease in the relative abundance of total plant pathogens in tea plant tissues. Terpenoids were the most significantly associated differential metabolites following B. bassiana colonization, followed by steroids and their derivatives, and flavonoids. Colonization by B. bassiana resulted in elevated levels of the majority of differential metabolites in tea plant stems at the onset of colonization. The colonization of B. bassiana in tea plants displayed a strong positive correlation with 26 distinct metabolites, such as proanthocyanidin B2 and L-malic acid. This colonization altered the endophytic microbial community, impacting metabolic pathways associated with plant hormone synthesis, volatile compound production, as well as the growth, development, and defense of tea plants.</p>
