The beneficial fungi are potentially useful in agriculture sector to avail several services to crop plants such as water status, nutrient enrichment, stress tolerance, protection, weed control and bio-control. Natural agro-ecosystem relies on fungi because of it takes part in soil organic matter decomposition, nutrient acquisition, organic matter recycling, nutrient recycling, antagonism against plant pests, and crop management. The crucial role of fungi in normalizing the toxic effects of phenols, HCN and ROS by β-CAS, ACC demainase and antioxidant enzymes in plants is well documented. Fungi also play a part in various physiological processes such as water uptake, stomatal movement, mineral uptake, photosynthesis and biosynthesis of lignan, auxins and ethylene to improve growth and enhance plant fitness to cope heat, cold, salinity, drought and heavy metal stress. Here, we highlighted the ethylene- and cyclophilin A (CypA)-mediated response of Piriformospora indica for sustainable crop production under adverse environmental conditions.
有益真菌在农业领域具有潜在的应用价值，可为作物提供多种服务，如改善水分状况、增加养分、提高抗逆性、提供保护、防治杂草和生物防治等。自然农业生态系统依赖真菌，因为真菌参与土壤有机质分解、养分获取、有机质循环、养分循环、对抗植物病虫害以及作物管理。真菌通过 β-CAS、ACC 脱氨酶和抗氧化酶来正常化酚类、HCN 和 ROS 的毒性作用，这一作用已得到充分证明。真菌还在各种生理过程中发挥作用，如吸水、气孔运动、矿物质吸收、光合作用和木质素、生长素和乙烯的生物合成，以促进生长并提高植物适应热、冷、盐、干旱和重金属胁迫的能力。在这里，我们强调了指示真菌通过乙烯和环孢素 A（CypA）介导的响应，以在不利的环境条件下实现可持续的作物生产。
