Description
Sijian Guo and co-authors probe how a helpful fungus boosts blueberry roots under plain tap water irrigation, in this 2025 paper. The fungus Piriformospora indica colonizes many crops and promotes growth. Tap water here carried mild salt stress over the long term. The team paired gene activity profiling with chemical measures in colonized and plain roots.
Colonization reshaped gene activity across transport, hormone, cell wall, and defense pathways. Roots absorbed nutrients better and stored more sucrose, starch, and growth-linked compounds. Stress hormones like jasmonic and abscisic acid fell. Follow-up gene tests confirmed the shifts. The authors conclude the fungus helps blueberry tolerate mild salt by coordinating walls, metabolism, and hormone balance together.
