The effects of fungal root endophytes on plant growth are stable along gradients of abiotic habitat conditions.

Abstract:

:Plant symbioses with fungal root endophytes span a continuum from mutualistic to parasitic outcomes, and are highly variable depending on the genotype of each symbiont. The abiotic context in which interactions occur also seems to influence the outcome of plant-endophyte symbioses, but we lack understanding of its relative importance. We aimed to assess if changes in abiotic variables determine the effects of fungal root endophytes on plant growth. We used in vitro co-cultivation assays to test the impact of a selection of endophytic strains from diverse lineages on the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana, Microthlaspi erraticum and Hordeum vulgare along gradients of nutrient availability, light intensity or substrate pH. Most fungi showed a negative but weak effect on plant growth, whereas only a few had persistent detrimental effects across plants and conditions. Changes in abiotic factors affected plant growth but had little influence on their response to fungal inoculation. Of the factors tested, variation in nutrient availability resulted in the most variable plant-endophyte interactions, although changes were feeble and strain-specific. Our findings suggest that the effects of root endophytes on plant growth are robust to changes in the abiotic environment when these encompass the tolerance range of either symbiont.
