摘要
Drought is a significant global issue affecting agricultural production, and the utilization of beneficial rhizosphere microorganisms is one of the effective ways to increase the productivity of crops and forest under drought. In this study, we characterized a novel growth-promoting dark septate endophytes (DSE) fungus R16 (Dothideomycetes sp.) derived from blueberry roots. Hyphae or microsclerotia were visible within the epidermal or cortical cells of R16-colonized blueberry roots, which was consistent with the typical characteristics of DSE fungi. Inoculation with R16 promoted the growth of blueberry seedlings, and the advantage over the control group was more significant under PEG-induced drought. Comparison of physiological indicators related to drought resistance between the inoculated and control groups was performed on the potted blueberry plants, including the chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, root activities, malondialdehyde and H2O2 content, which indicated that R16 colonization mitigated drought injury in blueberry plants. We further analyzed the effects of R16 on phytohormones and non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) to explore the mechanism of increased drought tolerance by R16 in blueberry seedlings. The results showed that except for the gibberellin content, indole-3-acetic acid, zeatin and abscisic acid varied significantly between the inoculated and control groups. Sucrose phosphate synthase and sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities in mature leaves, the key enzymes responsible for sucrose and sorbitol synthesis, respectively, as well as sorbitol dehydrogenase, sucrose synthase, cell wall invertase, hexokinase and fructokinase in roots, the key enzymes involved in the NSCs metabolism, showed significant differences between the inoculated and control groups before and after drought treatment. These results suggested that the positive effects of R16 colonization on the drought tolerance of blueberry seedlings are partially attributable to the regulation of phytohormone and sugar metabolism. This study provided valuable information for the research on the interaction between DSE fungi and host plants as well as the application of DSE preparations in agriculture.
