The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Rhizophagus irregularis on soil microorganisms assessed by metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics

, 2019
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbioses with approximately 80% of plant species and potentially benefit their hosts (e.g. nutrient acquisition) and the soil environment (e.g. soil aggregation).

An integrated social and natural sciences case study for the reuse of organic wastes as soil amendments

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

A Phosphate Transporter Gene from the Extra-Radical Mycelium of an Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Glomus intraradices Is Regulated in Response to Phosphate in the Environment

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001
The majority of vascular flowering plants are able to form symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. These symbioses, termed arbuscular mycorrhizas, are mutually beneficial, and the fungus delivers phosphate to the plant while receiving ...

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Plasticity in colonization and mycorrhizal benefit in the common Arctic species Avenella flexuosa in response to grazing

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research
Arctic grasslands are intensively grazed. The common grass Avenella flexuosa is particularly common in grazed areas, but the mechanisms of its adaptation to grazing are not fully known. We tested whether the plasticity of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis

Inoculation with the mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis modulates the relationship between root growth and nutrient content in maize (Zea mays ssp. mays L.)

Plant Direct, 2019
Plant root systems play a fundamental role in nutrient and water acquisition. In resource‐limited soils, modification of root system architecture is an important strategy to optimize plant performance.

Transcriptomic analysis of field-droughted sorghum from seedling to maturity reveals biotic and metabolic responses. [PDF]

, 2019
Drought is the most important environmental stress limiting crop yields. The C4 cereal sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a critical food, forage, and emerging bioenergy crop that is notably drought-tolerant.

Ozonated irrigation in vineyards: limited effects on soil bacterial and fungal microbiota

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Irrigation with ozonated water caused slight changes in bacterial composition but did not significantly affect microbial diversity, beneficial microbes (plant growth‐promoting bacteria, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi), or grapevine trunk disease‐related pathogens.
