ABSTRACT
Microorganisms offer a sustainable way to increase crop production and promote eco-friendly farming. The endophytic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae is known for its multiple roles in plant ecosystems, including plant protection, symbiosis, and abiotic stress mitigation. In this study, we evaluated the potential of seed priming with M. anisopliae isolate MetA1 (MA) to enhance germination, photosynthetic efficiency, growth, and yield of two wheat varieties, BARI Gom 26 (BG26) and BARI Gom 33 (BG33) under field conditions. The study demonstrated that MA seed priming significantly improved wheat germination (by 13% and 26.04%) of BG26 and BG33, respectively. Overall, photosynthetic performance, indicated by increased leaf angle, leaf thickness, relative chlorophyll content, and linear electron flow (LEF), quantum yield of Photo System II (Phi2) was increased in MA primed wheat plants, while reducing non-photochemical quenching like NPQt, PhiNO, PhiNPQ of both varieties. These enhancements were attributed to increased shoot biomass (by 215.64% for BG26 and 280.38% for BG33), root biomass (by 141.79% for BG26 and 207.4% for BG33), effective tiller percentage (by 9.17% for BG26 and 5.7% for BG33), spike length (by 25.05% for BG26 and 25.42% for BG33), grain yield parameters such as filled grain percentage (by 23.8% for BG26 and 12.5% for BG33), and grain weight per plant (by 168.62% for BG26 and 119.62% for BG33). The findings of the research demonstrated the potential of M. anisopliae for field use in an agricultural setting, providing a sustainable means of increasing food production.
