Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one of the most valuable horticultural crops, not only for its economic importance but also high nutritional value and sensory qualities. The arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungus Rhizophagus irregularis can improve plant nutrient uptake decrease seedling transplanting shock. Although R. extensively studied AMF species, there a paucity data on effects this ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbioses with many agricultural crops and can improve plant biomass health. The performance of the AM symbiosis is context dependent, for example, usually inoculation AMF Rhizophagus irregularis benefits biomass, but be suppressed by high soil fertility levels. Nevertheless, importance other management practices on AMF, such as fungicides application, po...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbiotic associations with land plants and supply soil minerals including phosphorus to their hosts. AM accumulate polyphosphate (polyP), a linear phosphate polymer, in mycelia, which functions storage translocation. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it has been demonstrated that vacuolar transporter chaperone 4 (VTC4) protein, subunit of VTC...

Droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) is a method used to detect and quantify nucleic acids even when present in exceptionally low numbers. While it has proven be valuable for clinical studies, failed widely adopted environmental studies but despite some limitations, ddPCR may represent better option than classical qPCR samples. Due the complexity of chemical biological composition ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are increasingly being used to enhance crop abiotic stress resistance. Common myrtle is an economically important essential oil-producing but knowledge about its drought resistance mechanisms the mitigation potential of AMF PGPR scant. Here, we investigated effects single dual (Funneliformis mosseae, Rhizophagus ...

Elymus nutans is a perennial grass of the Gramineae family. Due to its cold-resistance and nutrition deficiency tolerance, it has been applied ecological restoration degraded alpine grassland on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. As an important symbiotic microorganism, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have proven great potential in promoting growth stress resistance grasses. However, response mechanism ...
