A Review: Influence of Symbiotic Fungus Serendipita indica on Plant Growth and Yield in Cereal Crop under Abiotic Stress | Chapter 5 | Research Perspectives of Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 4

 

Serendipita indica is a cultivable endophyte that holds a broad host spectrum and possesses exceptional multifunctional capabilities to promote plant performance by enhancing growth, protection and stress tolerance. S. indica confers resistance to heavy metals, toxins and pathogens, it acts as a biopesticide, bioprotectant and biofertilizer by enhancing secondary metabolite production which results in early seed germination and flowering. This easily cultivable fungus shows beneficial plant-microbe interaction and acts as a powerful tool in improving plant growth by combatting environmental stresses. Symbiotic association of S. indica, with cereal crops helps plants to develop a variety of defence mechanisms by causing major morphological and physiological changes which promote plant growth and confers resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Heavy metal, drought, and salinity stress are among the severe environmental constraints to our modern agriculture which badly affect crop productivity in terms of growth and yield. To deal with such abiotic stress, this fungus helps plants to undergo host-specific modulations including gene alteration, activation of antioxidant activities, changes in photosynthetic activities, formation of rhizosheath, etc. for an enhancement in yield and growth of the plant. The current study exploited the effectiveness of S. indica against abiotic stress to ameliorate tolerance in plants.

A Textbook of Stress Crop Production | Book Publisher International

 Plant stresses are individual of the major restraints to crop production and drink security general. Stress is regarded as something that lowers crop yields in the sophistication of crops. The abrupt and expeditious changes in the climate about the world have fashioned the problem bad. To put it another habit, a stress is an outside event that causes crop yields to drop from their maximum level to a lower individual. Stress has a negative impact on a number of semantic, biochemical, and physiological processes that are carefully related to plant development and productivity. Low hotness, high temperature, water deficiency, excess water, water containing salt, mechanical resistance, and environmental pollution are some of ultimate significant stresses on plants that have a meaningful impact on crop incident and output. For better administration, it is crucial to include the physiological, biochemical, and environmental actions affiliated to these stresses. Morphological, physiological, and biochemical responses maybe broadened to circumscribe a wide range of plant responses to miscellaneous challenges. It's interesting that this book gives a all-encompassing overview of by what method plants react to provocation, paying particular attention to the correspondences and contrasts. The proposed chapters will still focus on up-to-date breeding methods that can be used to enhance plant responsiveness to stress. In the future, a whole strategy that allows for possibility the many management approaches to address Plant stress together might be a win-win plan.
