Here, we demonstrate that Piriformospora indica can induce tobacco nitrate reductase to produce a NO signal in roots which enhances nitrogen uptake capacity by inducing the expression of ammonium and nitrate transporter genes and the development of lateral root and root hair, thereby promoting tobacco growth. In addition, the NO signal induced by P. indica is significantly different from that induced by the pathogen Phytophthora nicotianae. Inoculation with P. indica did not produce H2O2 and maintained high expression of Phytoglobin 1 in roots, resulting in a significantly lower NO level than in the roots inoculated with P. nicotianae. These findings suggest that an appropriate NO level is the likely basis of plant-P. indica symbiosis, which promotes the growth of host plants.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":"17 1","pages":"861 - 872"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45091534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that HT significantly increased the production of and H2O2 compared with CK (25°C). Particularly, the oxidative damage of RNAi plants was significantly greater than that of wild type (WT) under HT + HL treatment, possibly due to the inhibition of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activities. HT treatment inhibited the photosystem II (PSII) activity, and the oxygen evolution complex (OEC) was the main injury site. Notably, the photosystem I (PSI) activity of WT and RNAi plants did not change significantly under HT + LL treatment compared with CK. Although the PSI activity of WT and RNAi plants decreased significantly under HT + HL treatment, there was no significant difference between WT and RNAi plants. Collectively, these findings indicate that high light increases the photoinhibition of PSII and PSI and oxidative damage under high-temperature stress.

In turn, AM fungi receive plant photosynthesis-derived carbon. A complex chemical dialogue mediates plant-fungus recognition and symbiosis establishment: AM fungi perceive root-secreted strigolactones, which promote spore germination, hyphal growth, branching and metabolism. Host roots recognize their symbionts through chitin-derived molecules. Such Myc–factors activate a range of symbiotic responses, preparing the plant to a successful association.

The use of synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers allowed us to boost agricultural productions, but at a great environmental cost. Exploitation of beneficial microorganism (BM)-plant interactions has been proposed as an eco-friendly solution to improve plant resistance to stresses and to increase productivity sustainably. We provide an overview of scientific evidence that this positive interaction is often mediated also by the release of microbial Volatile Organic Compounds (mVOCs). A few mVOCs are reported to have a double, not mutually exclusive, positive effect on plants, as plant growth promoters, and/or inducers of resistance against biotic and abiotic stress factors. They may also alter plant VOCs indirectly improving plant performances. However, mechanisms and functions of mVOCs need deeper investigation. By understanding mVOC modes of action on plants, further tools for sustainably improving plant productivity in agro-ecosystems may become soon available.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":"17 1","pages":"840 - 852"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44150659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results revealed that nFe°/BC treatment had significantly improved plant growth (58%), chlorophyll contents (66%), intracellular permeability (60%), and ratio factor (93%), while decreasing the Pb uptake (78%) in plants. The Pb-immobilization and transformation mechanisms were proposed, suggesting that the presence of organic functional groups over the nFe°/BC surface might induce the complex formation with Pb by the ions exchange process in soil solution. The XPS analysis confirmed that surface-active components (Fe+, O2−, O*, C═O) were the key factor for high Pb-immobilization within soil matrix. In addition, 87% of stable Pb species, including PbCO3, PbO, Pb (OH)2, and Pb-O-Fe were found in the soil surface.

Furthermore, the 15N-labeling experiment showed that the 15N content in shoot and root and the 15N-use efficiency were the highest after Mo application under NH4NO3 source, indicating the synergistic effects of Mo with the co-application of NO3 − and NH4 + sources.
