Abstract

Endophyte microorganisms are vital in protecting plants from pathogens and environmental stressors, such as abiotic and biotic stresses. They produce various useful compounds, including phytohormones, siderophores, and bioactive substances that can protect against insects, microbes, and viruses. Climate change is a significant threat to plant communities, but despite numerous studies investigating the impact of climate change on plants, there has been relatively little research on the role of the plant microbiome in helping plants adapt to changing conditions. This is a significant issue because global agriculture will face significant challenges due to worsening drought conditions caused by climate change. However, research has shown that plant microbiomes, particularly fungal endophytes, can help crops cope with drought stress. To understand the role of these endophytes and their diversity in plant symbiosis is essential to anticipate their function in a changing climate,

Ургамал эндофит бичил биетэнтэй харилцан үйлчлэх нь түүний уур амьсгалын өөрчлөлтөд дасан зохицох болон стресс тэсвэрлэх чадварт нөлөөлөх нь

Хураангуй. Эндофит бичил биетнүүд нь өвчин үүсгэгчдээс болон хүрээлэн буй орчны абиотик, биотик стрессээс ургамлыг хамгаалдаг чухал ач холбогдолтой организмууд юм. Эдгээр бичил биетнүүд нь шавж, бактери болон вирусүүдийн эсрэг хамгаалах фитогормонууд, төмөр, фосфат болон биологийн идэвхт олон төрлийн бодисуудыг нийлэгжүүлдэг. Уур амьсгалын өөрчлөлт нь ургамлын бүлгэмдэлд томоохон аюулыг учруулж байгаа бөгөөд ургамалд үзүүлэх нөлөөллийг судалсан олон судалгаа байгаа хэдий ч ургамлын орчны өөрчлөлтөд дасан зохицоход ургамал доторх бичил биетний гүйцэтгэх үүргийн талаар харьцангуй бага судалгаа хийгдсэн байна. Уур амьсгалын өөрчлөлтөөс үүдэлтэй ган гачгийн нөхцөл байдал улам хүндэрч, дэлхийн хөдөө аж ахуй салбарууд томоохон сорилтуудтай нүүр тулгарах тул энэ нь их чухал асуудал болж байгаа юм. Гэсэн хэдий ч судлаачид ургамал дахь бичил биетнүүд ялангуяа эндофит мөөгөнцрүүд нь үр тарианд гангийн стрессийг даван туулахад тусалдаг болохыг олж мэдсэн. Тиймээс эдгээр эндофит мөөгөнцрүүдийн үүрэг, олон янз байдлыг ойлгож уур амьсгалын өөрчлөлтөд бэлэн байх нь нэн чухал юм.
Түлхүүр үгс: Стресс тэсвэрлэх, уур амьсгалын өөрчлөлт, эндофит мөөгөнцөр, ургамал хамгаалах, ган гачиг
