Improved observation of colonized roots reveals the regulation of arbuscule development and senescence by drought stress in the arbuscular mycorrhizae of citrus

Citrus is the typical mycorrhizal fruit tree species establishing symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal(AM)fungi.However,arbuscule development and senescence in colonized citrus roots,especially in response to drought stress,remain unclear,which is mainly due to the difficulty in clearing and staining lignified roots with the conventional method.Here,we improved the observation of colonized roots of citrus plants with the sectioning method,which enabled the clear observation of AM fungal structures.Furthermore,we investigated the effects of one week of drought stress on arbuscule development and senescence with the sectioning method.Microscopy observations indicated that drought stress significantly decreased mycorrhizal colonization(F%and M%)although it did not affect plant growth performance.Fluorescence probes(WGA 488 and/or Nile red)revealed that drought stress inhibited arbuscule development by increasing the percentage of arbuscules at the early stage and decreasing the percentages of arbuscules at the midterm and mature stages.Meanwhile,drought stress accelerated arbuscule senescence,which was characterized by the increased accumulation of neutral lipids.Overall,the sectioning method developed in this study enables the in-depth investigation of arbuscule status,and drought stress can inhibit arbuscule development but accelerate arbuscule senescence in the colonized roots of citrus plants.This study paves the way to elaborately dissecting the arbuscule dynamics in the roots of fruit tree species in response to diverse abiotic stresses.
