Study Notes
- Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is the major auxin in plants, and its levels increase in water-stressed or salt-stressed plants, particularly when colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) [33,37,38,39].
- AMFs induce IAA production in plants, enhancing their response to abiotic stress and causing morphological variations in root systems [16,40,41,42].
- Some PGPRs produce 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, which decreases ethylene levels in both plant and soil, reducing environmental stress effects [34,44,45].
- The secretion of ACC-deaminase by PGPRs can enhance stress-related hormone levels, such as salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) [34,44,45].
- JA, an endogenous hormone involved in development and stress responses, is synthesized in greater amounts in AMF-inoculated plants, alleviating abiotic stress through secondary metabolite synthesis [29,33,47,48].
- SA, a key player in disease signaling, is increased in the roots of AMF-inoculated plants under drought and salt stress conditions [29,33,45].
- PGPMs enhance antioxidant defense in plants, reducing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and increasing antioxidant enzyme activity under abiotic stress conditions [39,40,52,53].
- Non-enzymatic antioxidants, such as polyphenols, organic acids, vitamins, carotenoids, and glutathione, play a role in the interaction between PGPMs and plants, protecting against oxidative damage [29,60,41,57,61].
- PGPRs also improve osmolyte accumulation, reducing enzymatic antioxidant activity and accelerating the modulation of plant biochemical processes to enhance stress responses [52].
- Some exceptions have been reported, including reduced antioxidant enzyme activity in mycorrhizal roots of certain plants [47,48] and decreased antioxidant enzyme activity in PGPR-treated plants [35,57,58,59].
