Grassland forage legumes and drought mitigation – sheep wool application improved soil water availability and enhanced drought–stress responses

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 13, Page 8073-8084, October 2026.
Abstract Background Sheep wool may reduce drought stress in grasslands when used as a soil amendment. Two experiments were conducted to explore if: (i) water absorbed by wool would be biologically ‘active’ and therefore available to plants, using a novel method of measuring water activity (a w); and, (ii) adding wool to compost would delay water stress

Glomus claroideum and G. spurcum, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota) new for Poland and Europe, respectively

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011
The ontogenetic development and morphological properties of spores of two species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota) of the genus Glomus, G. claroideum and G. spurcum, are described and illustrated. Spores of the two species were not earlier

From Rhizosphere to Resistance: Microbe‐Plant Interactions in Eco‐Smart Biocontrol

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Conceptual framework of eco‐smart biocontrol: Root exudates released by plants shape rhizosphere microbial community assembly by selectively recruiting beneficial microorganisms. These microbes suppress phytopathogens through direct mechanisms such as antibiosis, parasitism, enzyme production, and niche competition, while simultaneously activating ...

Inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi on the growth and tolerance to water deficit of coffee plants

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental
Water stress can be alleviated in plants inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi compared to that experienced by those without mycorrhizae. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth of coffee plants colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal ...

EFFECT OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO LEGUMINOUS TREES

Ciência Florestal, 2009
In a green house at the National Center of Research of Agrobiology (CNPAB/EMBRAPA), the effect of the inoculation of Arbuscular Micorrhizal Fungi (AMF) in the production of Peltogyne venosa and Sclerolobium paniculatum was evaluated.

Heavy Metal Contamination: Impacts From Plants to the Food Chain and Eco‐Friendly Amelioration Strategies

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 232-246, September 2026.
Heavy metal pollution reduces soil health and threatens food safety by entering plants; however, the use of nanoparticles, biofertilizers, and organic fertilizers such as biochar offers a promising strategy for improvement and sustainable agriculture. ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) pollution, resulting from human activities such as mining and the excessive ...

Phenology and developmental stage mediate symbiotic N fixation in a hairy vetch breeding program

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) is an overwintering annual legume valued for its ability to provide N through symbiotic N fixation (SNF). Although SNF is a high‐priority trait for farmers, evaluating SNF in a breeding program is a challenging endeavor. Our objective was to evaluate how SNF varies within and among hairy vetch genotypes and how

Soil microbial effects on tree seedling performance during forest secondary succession

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Soil microbiota influence seedling survival and abundance in mature forests. However, their role in tree species turnover during secondary forest succession remains unclear, especially in species‐rich tropical forests. We conducted a shade house experiment to assess variation in the direction and strength of net soil microbial effects on ...

Genome-Wide Association Studies Reveal Genomic Regions Associated With the Response of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to Mycorrhizae Under Drought Stress Conditions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
In the majority of wheat growing areas worldwide, the incidence of drought stress has increased significantly resulting in a negative impact on plant development and grain yield.

Distinct root‐associated fungal communities may account for the persistence of Podocarpus conifers in tropical forest

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Podocarps (Podocarpaceae) are one of the few lineages of conifers found in closed canopy tropical forests. They typically have highly restricted distributions that are associated with nutrient‐poor sites. Unlike other tree species, the presence of distinct nodule‐like structures allows their roots to be easily distinguished from those of co ...
