Mycorrhiza: An Ecofriendly Bio-Tool for Better Survival of Plants in Nature

Modern agriculture is currently enduring rapid changes in defiance of the continuing increase global population and various consequent environmental challenges. Crop quality becoming as important crop yield can be characterized by several parameters. Extensive use chemical fertilizers leads to food safety concerns globally; hence, mycorrhizal symbionts have proven beneficial for sustainable growth agricultural cropping system. Microflora inhabiting soil entails ecological interactions which are associated with performances. Amongst these microflora, fungi critical suppliers nutrients, restricted diffusion capacities minerals such phosphorus, nitrate, zinc, sulfur etc. Mycorrhizae obligatory biotrophs that depend upon their host plant nutritional requirements. They act key contributors agro-ecological enforcement impact globally on eco-systemic processes. These inhabitants devote themselves continuous nutrient flow extemporize resistance against stresses like drought, flood, metal toxicity, salinity, This review briefly highlights taxonomic co-evolution, factors affecting behaviors (phytohormonal regulation), concise mechanistic approach (improved water status, photosystems, stomatal conductance, ionic uptake, C & N fixation) combat (biotic/abiotic). Plant regulators play a crucial role this symbiotic establishment roots. Auxins, brassinosteroids, strigolactones responsible association. On other hand, ethylene, abscisic acid, jasmonic acids promote or downregulate process plants. Whereas, gibberellic salicylic negatively The hormonal homeostasis (in response fungal associations) activation transcriptional signaling cascades ensues physio-morphological benefit plant. phytohormones regulation plant-fungus mutualism, mycorrhization molecular cascades, been described along potential applications produce rehabilitation.
