Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associate with most land plants and deliver phosphorus to the host. Identification of biotic/abiotic factors that determine crop responses to AM fungal inoculation is an essential step for successful application of the fungi in sustainable agriculture. We conducted three...
The present study evaluated the effects of inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF; Glomus iranicum var. tenuihypharum sp. nova ) on the physiological performance and production of lettuce plants grown under greenhouse conditions and supplied with reclaimed water (RW; urban-treated ...

AM fungal–host symbiosis is very sensitive to soil disturbance, for example, agricultural tillage practices can damage and reduce AM fungal abilities to interact with a host and provide plant growth-promoting properties.

Introduction Environmental stresses limit plant growth and yield, leading to high losses. In particular, chilling affects the development and productivity of ...
Studies with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) showed that Scutellospora gilmorei was efficient in controlling black pepper fusariosis [9], in addition to improving biomass and defense metabolism of P. nigrum [10,11]. The mechanisms by which AMFs control pathogens are not yet fully known and...
