The Role of Serendipita indica (Piriformospora indica) in Improving Plant Resistance to Drought and Salinity Stresses

Abstract: Plant stress is one of the biggest threats to crops, causing irreparable damage to farmers’ incomes; Therefore, finding suitable, affordable, and practical solutions will help the agricultural economy and prevent the loss of millions of tons of agricultural products. Scientists have taken significant steps toward improving farm productivity in the last few decades by discovering how beneficial soil microorganisms enhance plant resistance to environmental stresses. Among these microorganisms is Serendipita indi… Show more

“…To address the link between fungal accommodation and plant developmental cell death, we analyzed transcriptomic data and observed downregulation of BFN1 in Arabidopsis during colonization by Serendipita indica (hereafter S. indica ), a beneficial fungus of the order Sebacinales. As a root endophyte, S. indica colonizes the epidermal and cortex layers of a broad range of different plant hosts, conferring various beneficial effects, including plant growth promotion, protection against pathogenic microbes and increased tolerance to abiotic stresses (Boorboori & Zhang, 2022, Mahdi et al ,2022, Fesel & Zuccaro, 2016). The colonization strategy of S. indica comprises an initial biotrophic interaction between plant and fungus.…”

“…However, cell wall act as a barrier for beneficial microorganism's entry into plant tissues, which is overcome through the secretion of cell wall-destroying enzymes (CWDE). The activity of P. indica CWDE destroys plant cell wall polysaccharides for an entry pathway to plant cells (Boorboori and Zhang, 2022). In extremely arid conditions, date palm, Phoenix dactyliferaremains viable in saline soils and soils with low water supply (Müller et al, 2017;Hazzouri et al, 2020).…”

“…Three review articles are also included in this Special Issue. Boorboori and Zhang [ 21 ] reviewed the physiological role of Serendipita indica ( Piriformospora indica ) in improving plant resistance to drought and salinity stress [ 21 ]. They highlighted the impact of this fungus in tackling environmental stresses and enhancing agricultural productivity, as Serendipita indica is phylogenetically like arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and can colonize under different stress conditions and coexist with more than 200 plant species.…”

“…They highlighted the impact of this fungus in tackling environmental stresses and enhancing agricultural productivity, as Serendipita indica is phylogenetically like arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and can colonize under different stress conditions and coexist with more than 200 plant species. Moreover, this fungus can be easily grown in artificial medium and can be used as a promising biofertilizer [ 21 ]. According to this review, Serendipita indica -mediated stress tolerance in plants results from several complementary physiological mechanisms, including (i) higher root proliferation and root biomass, (ii) higher nutrient uptake, (iii) the activation of genes involved in microtubule-based processes, (iv) decreasing stomatal conductance under drought stress, (v) and the activation of the antioxidant defence system (for a detailed review, see Boorboori and Zhang [ 21 ]).…”
