Impact of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on Photosynthesis, Water Status, and Gas Exchange of Plants Under Salt Stress–A Meta-Analysis
2019
Overview
Soil salinization is one of the most serious abiotic stress factors affecting plant productivity through reduction of soil water potential, decreasing the absorptive capacity of the roots for water and nutrients. A weighted meta-analysis was conducted to study the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation in alleviating salt stress in C
and C
plants. We analyzed the salt stress influence on seven independent variables such as chlorophyll, leaf area, photosynthetic rate (
), stomatal conductance (
), transpiration rate (
), relative water content (RWC), and water use efficiency (WUE) on AMF inoculated plants. Responses were compared between C
and C
plants, AMF species, plant functional groups, level of salinity, and environmental conditions. Our results showed that AMF inoculated plants had a positive impact on gas exchange and water status under salt stress. The total chlorophyll contents of C
plants were higher than C
plants. However, C
plants responses regarding
, and
were more positive compared to C
plants. The increase in
mainly maintained
and it explains the increase in
and increase in
. When the two major AMF species (
and
) were considered, the effect sizes of RWC and WUE in
were lower than those in
indicating that
inoculated plants performed better under salt stress. In terms of C
and C
plant photosynthetic pathways, the effect size of C
was lower than C
plants indicating that AMF inoculation more effectively alleviated salt stress in C
compared to C
plants.
