Abstract

Soil salinization due to sea level rise and groundwater irrigation has become an important agronomic problem in many parts of the world. Symbiosis between crop species and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may alleviate salt stress-induced detrimental effects on crop growth and yield, for example, through helping the host plant to selectively absorb potassium while avoiding uptake of excessive sodium. Here, we performed a greenhouse experiment to evaluate growth, grain yield, and salt tolerance of a Bangladeshi rice cultivar under three levels of salt stress (0, 75, and 120 mM) after inoculation with three different AMF species from three different genera (Funnelliformis mosseae (BEG12), Acaulospora laevis (BEG13), and Gigaspora margarita (BEG34)), singly and in combination. We found that under salt stress, AMF inoculation enhanced total chlorophyll concentration, shoot K+/Na+ ratio, and lowered shoot Na+/root Na+ ratio, accompanied by increased root biomass, spikelet fertility, and grain yield compared with the non-inoculated control plants. Specifically, we found that the combination of BEG13 and BEG34 increased rice yield by 125 and 143% as compared with the non-inoculated controls, at the 75 and 120mM salt levels, respectively. In general, the low AMF diversity treatments (one species or a combination of two AMF species) were found to be the most effective in mediating salt stress tolerance for the majority of the measured crop performance variables. Overall, our results indicate that specific AMF species can promote the salt tolerance and productivity of rice, likely by increasing photosynthetic efficiency and restricting Na+ uptake and transport from root to shoot in AMF-inoculated plants.
