Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate plant root symbionts delivering a range of benefits to the host plant such as improved nutrient acquisition and resistance to pathogens and abiotic stress. However, whether they can enhance the function of plant root systems damaged due to subsidence caused by excessive coal mining has not been well explored. In the present study, we investigated the effects of AMF using Funneliformis mosseae (FM) as the test fungus on maize (Zea mays L.) growth and hormone levels under different levels of root damage stress by simulating mining subsidence. The results show that plants treated with FM had more shoots, roots, mycorrhizal colonization and higher hyphal density than those without FM under the same simulated mining-induced subsidence conditions. In addition, plants treated with FM also possessed higher N, P, K, Ca, and Mg contents in the shoots and the roots and higher indole-3-acetic acid, gibberellin (GA), and cytokinin (CTK) contents in the roots, indicating that the mycorrhizal association promoted plant biomass and nutrient uptake. FM treatment was no longer beneficial when root damage due to mining-induced subsidence affected more than half of the roots. Soil SOC, AK, and TG wer...Continue Reading
