Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alleviate Mn phytotoxicity by altering Mn subcellular distribution and chemical forms in Lespedeza davidii by Gao Pan, Gao Pan, Jiayao Hu, Jiayao Hu, Zhen Zi, Wenying Wang, Wenying Wang, Xinhang Li, Xinhang Li, Xiaoli Xu, Xiaoli Xu, Wensheng Liu, Wensheng Liu

“…IntroductionArbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can relieve manganese (Mn) phytotoxicity and promote plant growth under Mn stress, but their roles remain unclear.MethodsIn this study, Lespedeza davidii inoculated with or without AMF (Glomus mosseae) under different Mn concentrations (0 mmol/L, 1 mmol/L, 5 mmol/L, 10 mmol/L, and 20 mmol/L) was cultivated via a pot experiment, and plant biomass, physiological and biochemical characteristics, manganese absorption, subcellular distribution, and chemical forms of Mn were examined.ResultsThe results showed that root biomass, stem biomass, leaf biomass, and total individual biomass decreased under high Mn concentrations (above 10 mmol/L), and the inoculated plants had higher biomass than the uninoculated plants. …”
