The Role of Trichoderma Species in Mitigating Abiotic Stress in Plants
摘要
Global agricultural productivity is increasingly at risk from abiotic stresses, which include a variety of environmental conditions, like drought, salinity, severe temperatures, and heavy metal (HM) toxicity. Plant growth, development, and production are severely limited by these non-biological stresses, making creative and long-lasting mitigation techniques necessary. Because of their many uses, species within Trichoderma, a common genus of filamentous fungi, have become a very promising biological solution. The processes by which Trichoderma reduces abiotic stress in plants are thoroughly examined in this research, with particular attention paid to its functions in hormonal regulation, improved nutrient absorption, strong antioxidant defense, and accurate osmotic adjustment. The study describes the precise physiological and biochemical reactions that Trichoderma causes under different stressors, highlighting the intricate molecular relationships that support its effectiveness. Additionally, it examines Trichoderma’s present uses in agriculture as well as its enormous potential in the future as a vital instrument for promoting crop resilience and guaranteeing food security in a fast-changing climate.
