Query: Piriformospora indica employs hosts putrescine for growth promotion in plants Growth promotion by endosymbiont Piriformospora indica has been observed in various plants; however, specific functional metabolites involved in P. indica mediated growth promotion are unknown. A GC-MS based untargeted metabolite analysis was used to identify Solanum lycopersicum metabolites altered during P. indica mediated growth promotion. Metabolomic analysis showed primary metabolites altered and specifically putrescine to be maximally induced in roots during the interaction. P. indica induced putrescine biosynthetic gene SlADC1 in S. lycopersicum and acts via arginine decarboxylase (ADC) mediated pathway. P. indica did not promote growth in Sladc-VIGS (virus induced gene silencing of SlADC gene) lines of S. lycopersicum and when the ADC enzyme was inhibited with an inhibitor, DL--(Difluoromethyl) arginine. In Arabidopsis adc knock-out mutants, P. indica do not promote growth and this response was rescued upon exogenous application of putrescine. Putrescine promoted growth by elevation of auxin (indole-3-acetic acid) and gibberellin (GA4, GA7) levels in S. lycopersicum. Putrescine is also important for P. indica hyphal growth indicating that it is co-adapted by both host and microbe. Hence, we conclude that putrescine is an essential metabolite and its biosynthesis in plants is crucial for P. indica mediated growth promotion and fungal growth.
