Camellia is a genus of evergreen shrubs or trees, such as C. japonica, sinensis, oleifera, etc. A group beneficial soil microorganisms, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), inhabit the rhizosphere these spp. total eight genera Acaulospora, Entrophospora, Funneliformis, Gigaspora, Glomus, Pacispora, Scutellospora, and Sclerocystis were found to be associated with plants Glomus and/or Acaulospora ...

Phytoremediation can help remediate potential toxic elements (PTE) in soil. Microorganisms and soil amendments are effective means to improve the efficiency of phytoremediation. This study selected three microorganisms that may promote phytoremediation, including bacteria (Ceratobasidium), fungi (Pseudomonas mendocina), arbuscular-mycorrhizal (AMF, Funneliformis caledonium). The effects single ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish beneficial symbiotic associations with plants, enhancing their nutrient uptake, growth, and stress tolerance. The present study was aimed to investigate AMF spore density, species composition, colonization patterns, correlation of these indices soil physicochemical parameters at four vineyards located in one the most important grape-producing regions...

Maintaining the levels of nitrogen in agricultural fields to ensure crop yield performance is challenging due to the complex dynamics of nitrogen transformation in soil. Nitrogen is mainly taken up by plant roots in the form of nitrate, but it is considered as an environmental pollutant that threatens human and animal health. Therefore, it is necessary to use adsorbent compounds to retain nitra...

Agricultural management practices and extreme weather events associated with climate change can influence the diversity abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) potential consequences for crop production. However, importance interactive effects long-term agricultural on AMF communities in soils is not yet fully explored. A short-term drought experiment rainout-shelters was performed wint...

Phytate represents an organic pool of phosphorus in soil that requires hydrolysis by phytase enzymes produced microorganisms prior to its bioavailability plants. We tested the ability a microbial suspension made from old growth maple forest’s undisturbed mineralize phytate greenhouse trial on soybean plants inoculated or non-inoculated with suspension. MiSeq Amplicon sequencing targeting bacter...

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...
