The Role of Fungal Symbioses in the Adaptation of Plants to High Stress Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
All plants studied in natural ecosystems are symbiotic with fungi that either reside entirely (endophytes) or partially (mycorrhizae) within plants. These symbioses appear to adapt to biotic and abiotic stresses and may be responsible for the survival of both plant hosts and fungal symbionts in high stress habitats. Here we describe the role of symbiotic fungi in plant stress tolerance and present a strategy based on adaptive symbiosis to potentially mitigate the impacts of global change on plant communities.

Drought adaptations in wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum) grown in Iran
Wild barley contains a wide genetic diversity and therefore is adaptable to all kinds of harsh environments. The aim of this research was to determine the extent of drought stress adaptation within Hordeum spontaneum L. genotypes from different climates of Iran. From the primary population of 193 genotypes, a core set consisting of 18 genotypes, were selected based on the highest squared Euclid...

Mycorrhizal association in seven plants grown in Arasbaran forest located in the north west of Iran was investigated. The soil samples were collected from the plants rhizosphere. Physico-chemical properties of rhizosphere soils like soil texture, pH, EC and some extractable nutrients such as N, P and K were recorded. The number of spores in rhizosphere and percentage of root mycorrhizal coloniz...
متن کاملThe role of environments with extreme ecological conditions in the reductive evolutionary development processes of animal
Different groups of animals show phenotypic characters, which have been resulted by the reductive phenomena. The examples are the absence of pigmentation; dwindle of eyes in some cave-living animals, and also the absence of scale in some fishes. These characters are often leaded to evolution of new species with special adaptation that is so called "Regressive evolution". The reductive phenomena...

Evaluation of varieties and soybean lines under drought stress helps to breeders for detecting of stable and high-yielding genotypes. In this regard an experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications under normal and drought stress conditions across two locations (four environments). The results of combined analysis of grain yield/plant revealed effects of s...
