Heavy metal toxicity leads to impaired crop growth and reduced crop yields and product quality by disrupting plant nutrient uptake, inhibiting development, inducing oxidative stress, and causing cellular toxicity. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can play a crucial role in crops' adaptation to manganese (Mn) toxicity by regulating nutrient uptake and altering subcellular compartmentalization. The present study examines the influence of intact extraradical mycelia (ERMs) from native AMF on wheat () grown in Mn-toxic soil, with a focus on the tissue-specific and subcellular Ca, Mg, P, and Mn distribution. Wheat cultivated in soil pre-colonized using an intact ERM associated with or exhibited enhanced growth and improved P contents. During the first week of growth, the Mn concentrations increased in the wheat's roots and shoots, but Mn was subsequently reduced and sequestered within the cell wall. In contrast, in the absence of an intact ERM, the Mn accumulation in wheat followed an apparent continuous time-course pattern. AMF-mediated cell wall sequestration seems to contribute to Mn detoxification by limiting excessive cytoplasmic accumulation. Furthermore, AMF-driven changes in the element distribution suggest a dynamic response, wherein an early-stage nutrient uptake transitions into a long-term protective mechanism. These findings highlight the potential of AMF in mitigating Mn stress in crops, providing insights for sustainable agriculture and soil remediation strategies.
重金属毒性通过扰乱植物养分吸收、抑制生长发育、诱导氧化应激和引起细胞毒性,导致作物生长受损、产量降低以及产品质量下降。丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)可通过调节养分吸收和改变亚细胞区室化,在作物适应锰(Mn)毒性方面发挥关键作用。本研究考察了来自本地AMF的完整根外菌丝(ERM)对生长在锰毒性土壤中的小麦()的影响,重点关注组织特异性以及亚细胞水平上钙、镁、磷和锰的分布。在预先接种了与或相关的完整ERM的土壤中种植的小麦,生长得到增强,磷含量提高。在生长的第一周,小麦根和地上部的锰浓度增加,但随后锰被减少并螯合在细胞壁内。相比之下,在没有完整ERM的情况下,小麦中的锰积累呈现出明显的连续时间进程模式。AMF介导的细胞壁螯合似乎通过限制过量的细胞质积累来促进锰解毒。此外,AMF驱动的元素分布变化表明存在一种动态响应,即早期的养分吸收转变为长期的保护机制。这些发现凸显了AMF在减轻作物锰胁迫方面的潜力,为可持续农业和土壤修复策略提供了见解。
