Abstract

Abstract:

In order to reveal the principle of symbiosis and growth promotion between Serendipita indica and host plants, we reviewed the research progress on colonization strategy and growth promotion mechanism of S. indica in the present paper. We also summarized the morphological and functional characteristics of S. indica, the colonization process, strategies and influencing factors, as well as the role and promotion mechanism of S. indica on growth and development of the host plants. S. indica evolved a highly specific strategy in plant root colonization, during which S. indica could colonize in mature cells without threatening, and finally reached a balance between fungal colonization and plant growth. After successful colonization, S. indica played the role of biological growth regulator, which could promote plant growth and flower development, and improve the yield and quality of seeds and fruits through different mechanisms. A framework that combined host ecology, physiology, genetics and genomics was needed for the research on the colonization strategies of S. indica. The promotion mechanism of S. indica on plant growth and development should be comprehensively studied with metagenomic technology. The formulation stability, product industrialization and shelf life should be considered in the development of S. indica related products.

Key words: soil microorganism, Serendipita indica, interaction, colonization, growth promotion
