Significance of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi for Acacia: A Review

Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences, 2020
Microbes play a vital role in ecosystem stability. Here, microbes-Acacia association is discussed with particular reference to Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) which help in the establishment of crop-plants, especially in arid and semi-arid areas.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant performance in trace element‐contaminated soils with element‐specific accumulation patterns

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil contamination by toxic trace elements is a growing global challenge that threatens food safety, agricultural productivity, and ecosystem health. We combined results from many experiments worldwide to assess whether beneficial soil fungi can help plants cope with contaminated soils.

Benzimidazole Anthelmintic Compounds Albendazole and Fenbendazole Show Distinct Toxicity on the Nitrogen Fixing Bacterium Mesorhizobium loti and Its Symbiosis With Lotus japonicus

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Veterinary medicines, which reach the soil mostly through the application of contaminated manures, can affect beneficial soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria, which engage in important symbiotic associations with plants.

Reduction in litter allelochemicals promotes positive biotic interactions among alien species

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract A key focus of invasion ecology is elucidating why multiple alien species accumulate within ecosystems. The invasional meltdown hypothesis proposes that one alien invader promotes further invasions through soil legacy effects.

REJUVENATING OLDER APPLE TREES BY ROOT PRUNING COMBINED WITH ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2017
Older apple trees often demonstrate physiologically unreasonable shoot distribution due to root system aging, which results in lower fruit yield and poor fruit quality.

Root growth and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on woody plants for vegetative stabilization of tropical slopes [PDF]

Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Plant growth is improved by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, although they have not been researched for slope stability. These fungal inoculations and bamboo interventions may promote root development toward the slip plane ...

Contrasting drivers of phosphorus dynamics across soil aggregates: The role of nutrient enrichment and mowing

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phosphorus (P) is an essential but often limiting nutrient for sustaining grassland ecosystem functions. Its soil dynamics are highly sensitive to land management practices and may vary across soil aggregate sizes due to differences in biotic and abiotic factors ...

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.

Harvesting benefits: Exploring the effects of second‐best policies on enhancing soil organic carbon stocks in agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Proteomic analysis of the response of Funnelifor mismosseae/Medicago sativa to atrazine stress

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbiotic associations with host plants can protect host plants against diverse biotic and abiotic stresses, and promote biodegradation of various contaminants.
