Mycorrhizal inoculation stimulates growth, photosynthesis and nutrient uptake in a wide range of host plants. However, the ultimate effects of arbuscular mycorrhyzal (AM) symbiosis vary with the plants and fungal species involved in the association. Therefore, identification of the appropriate combinations of AM fungi (AMF) that interact synergistically to improve their benefits is of high sign...

The mechanistic understanding of the dynamic processes linking nutrient acquisition and biomass production of competing individuals can be instructive in optimizing intercropping systems. Here, we examine the effect of inoculation with Funneliformis mosseae on competitive dynamics between wheat and faba bean. Wheat is less responsive to mycorrhizal inoculation. Both inoculated and uninoculated ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can enhance drought tolerance in plants, whereas little is known regarding AMF contribution to sucrose and proline metabolisms under drought stress (DS). In this study, Funneliformis mosseae and Paraglomus occultum were inoculated into trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) under well watered and DS. Although the 71-days DS notably (P < 0.05) inhibited mycorr...

The poor quality and low productivity of cultivated liquorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) continues to put pressure on wild plant populations. As arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are known to support plant growth and in some cases even to enhance the accumulation of valuable molecules in the plant, the effect of Glomus mosseae on the growth and active ingredient contents was evaluated in liquorice plan...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are strong toxic compounds mainly released to the environment during combustion of fossil fuels, and have effects on living organisms, with soil being one their main reservoirs. High PAH levels in soils can interfere plant growth biomass production, causing several losses diversity. In this study, we evaluated co-inoculation Trichoderma viride Funneliform...

The plant domestication process led to crops with strongly modified growth-defense tradeoff features, and that were much more pampered in terms of nutrition, irrigation defense measures, showing less ability trigger adaptation strategies respect their wild relatives. It is worth noting plants are not alone, they share environment a myriad microbes supporting them many relevant functions. We hav...

Plant biostimulants such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and humic substances (HS) can be used as an appropriate alternative to chemical fertilizers, as regards to environmental problems of chemicals. The effects of Funneliformis mosseae as an AM fungus, HS (foliar spray and topdressing application), and chemical fertilizer (NK), separately or interacting, on biochemical responses in Menth...

It is well documented that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) affect growth and nutrient absorption in host plants under pot conditions. However, their effects on reproductive ornamental field conditions are unknown. Our study evaluated the of AMF flowering physiological traits snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) greenhouse Seedlings were inoculated with Funneliformis mosseae (Nicolson &amp; Gerd.) ...

Symbiotic interaction between plants and microorganisms in the rhizosphere is an important factor affecting plant growth fitness. Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi symbiosis increases resistance of to stress factors, including pathogens. Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) destructive damaging tomatoes peppers with losses that can reach 100%. It listed on list current quarantine organisms Czech ...
