摘要

Soil salinization is a major threat to global food security, particularly in irrigated areas affected by poor water management and climate change. Pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr.) is highly sensitive to salt stress, leading to substantial yield losses and threatening the sustainability of its cultivation. This study explores the challenges and prospects of co-cultivating pineapple with endophytic fungi of the genus Serendipita, highlighting symbiotic mechanisms that enhance salt tolerance. These fungi establish beneficial associations with host plants, promoting physiological and biochemical responses such as osmotic adjustment via compatible solute accumulation, phytohormone production (e.g., abscisic acid and auxins), and activation of antioxidant systems that scavenge reactive oxygen species. The biotechnological potential of Serendipita spp. is also discussed, with emphasis on S. indica, S. vermifera, S. vermifera spp. bescii, S. herbamans, S. williamsii, and S. restingae, which have been reported to mitigate abiotic stress in various crops by enhancing nutrient uptake and reducing oxidative damage. Although further research is needed to validate large-scale application, integrating these fungi into agricultural systems may support sustainable pineapple production under saline conditions. This strategy aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), offering a promising approach to enhance crop resilience under increasing environmental constraints.
