Antimony (Sb) pollution in soil-rice systems can affect human health by enriching of food chains. Currently, the mechanism of the negative role underlying microorganisms in plant responses to Sb stress remains clear. The results of this study showed that the presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, a common symbiotic microorganism in rhizosphere soil, significantly enhanced Sb uptake by upland rice and inhibited its growth. Furthermore, we explained the reasons for the adverse effects of AM fungi mediation on upland rice growth under Sb stress from a molecular perspective. The results also showed that AM fungi affect the biological processes of the response of upland rice to oxidative stress and the functions of its antioxidant active molecules throughout the vegetative growth phase of upland rice, and that the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway is significantly downregulated. At the same time, phenylalanine/tyrosine ammonia-lyase (PTAL) in the pathway was significantly expressed in the middle and late stages of vegetative growth of upland rice. Therefore, PTAL can act as a potential reference protein to investigate the response of upland rice to Sb stress mediated by AM fungi. These findings enrich our understanding of the impact of Sb pollution on soil-plant systems in real soil environments.
