Aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of exogenously inoculated root endophytic fungus, Piriformospora indica, on molecular, biochemical, morphological and physiological parameters of Artemisia annua L. treated with different concentrations (0, 50, 100 and 150 mu mol/L) of arsenic (As) stress. As was significantly accumulated in the roots than shoots of P. indica-inoculated plants. As accumulation and immobilization in the roots is directly associated with the successful fungal colonization that restricts most of As as compared to the aerial parts. A total of 4.1, 11.2 and 25.6 mg/kg dry weight of As was accumulated in the roots of inoculated plants supplemented with 50, 100 and 150 mu mol/L of As, respectively as shown by atomic absorption spectroscopy. P. indica showed significant tolerance in vitro to As toxicity even at high concentration. Furthermore, flavonoids, artemisinin and overall biomass were significantly increased in inoculated-stressed plants. Superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities were increased 1.6 and 1.2 fold, respectively under 150 mu mol/L stress in P. indica-colonized plants. Similar trend was followed by ascorbate peroxidase, catalase and glutathione reductase. Like that, phenolic acid and phenolic compounds showed a significant increase in colonized plants as compared to their respective control/un-colonize stressed plants. The real-time PCR revealed that transcriptional levels of artemisinin biosynthesis genes, isoprenoids, terpenes, flavonoids biosynthetic pathway genes and signal molecules were prominently enhanced in inoculated stressed plants than un-inoculated stressed plants.
