“…Such compounds with high antioxidant activity are known by their mechanisms to enhance plant tolerance against unfavorable drought conditions. This may be one of the causes that led to a lower level of IC-50 because of fungal inoculation in the present study and also in a previous work (72). Flavonoids from legumes have reportedly helped the growth of vesiculararbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and promoted the transcription of nodulation genes in symbiotic relationships (73,74).…”

Background:Exogenous application of silicon (Si) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can help plants cope with drought stress. An experiment was designed with two Si solute levels in irrigation water (i.e. 0 (Si0) and 300 mg/L (Si1)), two levels of AMF inoculation (i.e. inoculation with Claroiedoglomus etunicatum (F1) and without inoculation (F0)), and five soil moisture regimes (i.e. 100, 80, 60, 40 and 20% of field capacity (FC). After two months, the licorice roots were harvested and analyzed.ResultsUnder water deficit conditions, there were significant decreases in root length and dry weight (DW) (p < 0.05), compared to the control. Si and AMF could significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced root area (47.75-150.64 cm2) under all irrigation levels. The maximum glycyrrhizic acid (26.62 mg/g DW) was achieved by the interaction between Si and AMF in response to 40% FC. A reduction in total flavonoids and phenolics of licorice was observed under severe drought levels; however, the Si and AMF acted to increase sinapic acid (16.46 mg/g DW), and trans ferulic acid (1.11 mg/g DW) in roots. The results indicated that the interaction between Si and AMF positively affected nitrogen and phosphorous concentrations in roots (53.51 and 74.07%, respectively). Also, there was an increase in potassium concentration in response to 100, 80, and 40% FC among Si-treated plants (38.5–44.7%).ConclusionIn conclusion, the exogenous application of Si and AMF showed a synergistic impact on the ability to mitigate the adverse effects of drought stress by improving plant growth and enhancing metabolite accumulation in licorice.

“…acid levels in plants treated with biostimulant under well-watered, mild and severe drought stress conditions (Lephatsi et al, 2022). In a study, it was determined that water deficiency, silicon application and mycorrhiza inoculation caused changes in plant amino acids (Haghighi et al, 2022). Proline accumulation is one of the responses to drought stress, it was determined that proline increased with 100% irrigation by applying silicone without mycorrhiza vaccine, while the minimum proline was determined to be 40% irrigation with mycorrhiza inoculation without silicone application (Haghighi et al, 2022).…”

“…The highest histidine and lysine values were obtained by irrigation with silicium solution and 80% field capacity water and mycorrhiza inoculation. It was stated that the minimum histidine and valine were obtained in 100% field capacity irrigation without silicon and mycorrhizae (Haghighi et al, 2022). The application of rhizobacteria (PGPR) to plants that promote plant growth can be an effective strategy to promote plant growth and improve their tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought.…”

In this study, the effect of biostimulant treatment against water stress in tomato seedling period was investigated. In the study conducted in the greenhouse conditions, water stress was applied in two different levels; full irrigation (100% of the field capacity) and 50% of the field capacity. The product used as a biostimulant has 1%Zn, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, Azosprillum and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (1x10 9 cfu/ml) content.The solutions prepared at a ratio of 1/10 and 1/5 and were given to the plants three times with one-week intervals. The effects of water stress and biostimulant treatments on amino acid content in tomato seedlings were investigated. As a result of this study, some of the amino acid content in the plant leaf with has increased and some have decreased under different water availability conditions according to the amino acid type. However, depending on the application doses, it was seen that the negative effect of water stress on the amino acid content was alleviated. As a result of the current study, the effect of applications in reducing the damage caused by water stress on tomato seedlings may also be important in terms of amino acid content.

“…These various harmful impacts of water deficit on basic metabolites of licorice, carbohydrates and fatty acids, affect their critical roles on licorice quality for food and pharmaceutical industries. Wild licorice plants are well-suited to growing in challenging situations, including drought, and on lands with nutrient deficiency 9 . These are the two main causes that usually limit licorice production.…”

Water deficit affects agricultural systems negatively globally. This research objective was to mitigate drought’s detrimental effects on plants metabolite profiling by utilizing biofertilizers and mineral nutrition. The carbohydrate content and fatty acid profile of Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) were assessed under Silicon (Si) nutrition, Claroiedoglomus etunicatum inoculation (F), and drought stress (100, 80, 60, 40, and 20% of field capacity (FC)). Results showed that Si application increased total sugar content under severe drought levels (20 and 40% FC) and made it reach 12.41 and 12.63 g/100 g DW, respectively. Sucrose, as the predominant sugar of licorice, was at its highest level (13.1 g/100 g DW) in response to integrated values of F and Si (60% FC). Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry showed that the majority of fatty acid components in plants were 9-Octadecenoic acid (8.72–71.27%), 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (0.1–56.43%), Hexadecanoic acid (12.84–30.59%), Octadecanoic acid (6.9–15.3%), Docosanoic acid (0.57–2.77%), Eicosanoic acid (1.07–2.64%), and 7-Hexadecenoic acid (0.26–2.62%). Since a lower omega6/omega3 ratio represents a healthier product, the lowest ratio (0.25%) was observed in well-watered inoculated plants. Also, severe drought-treated plants under integrated Si and F applications showed a low omega6/omega3 ratio (1.88%). In conclusion, Si and F improved synergistically the carbohydrate content and fatty acid profile in plants, despite the drought stress.
