摘要： Soil salinization is a major environmental factor that severely affects global agriculture. Root endophytes can enter root cells, and offer various ecological benefits, such as promoting plant growth, improving soil conditions, and enhancing plant resistance. Su100 is a novel strain of endophytic fungus that was characterized from blueberry roots. In this study, we focused on evaluating the effects of Su100 secretion on maize growth. The results demonstrated that maize treated with Su100 fermentation broth (SFB) exhibited significantly stronger salt tolerance than the control. It is worth mentioning that the treated root system not only had an advantage in terms of biomass but also a change in root structure with a significant increase in lateral roots (LRs) compared to the control. Transcriptome analysis combined with hormone content measurements indicated that SFB upregulated the auxin signaling pathway, and also caused alterations in brassinosteroids (BR) and jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis and signaling pathways. Transcriptome analyses also indicated that SFB caused significant changes in the sugar metabolism of maize roots. The major changes included: enhancing the conversion and utilization of sucrose in roots; increasing carbon flow to uridine diphosphate glucose (UDPG), which acted as a precursor for producing more cell wall polysaccharides, mainly pectin and lignin; accelerating the tricarboxylic acid cycle, which were further supported by sugar content determinations. Taken together, our results indicated that the enhanced salt tolerance of maize treated with SFB was due to the modulation of sugar metabolism and phytohormone biosynthesis or signaling pathways. This study provided new insights into the mechanisms of action of endophytic fungi and highlighted the potential application of fungal preparations in agriculture.
