Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are soil-borne fungi belonging to the ancient phylum Glomeromycota and are important symbionts of the arbuscular mycorrhiza, enhancing plant nutrient acquisition and resistance to various abiotic stresses. In contrast to their significant physiological implications, the molecular basis involved is poorly understood, largely due to their obligate biotrophism and...

Although heterokaryons have been reported in nature, multicellular organisms are generally assumed genetically homogeneous. Here, we investigate the case of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that form symbiosis with plant roots. The growth advantages they confer to their hosts are of great potential benefit to sustainable agricultural practices. However, measuring genetic diversity for these c...

Biofertilizers management for sustainable agriculture is a challenge to improve farmers ‘food security today and correct nutrient deficiencies (potassium, phosphorus nitrogen) in plant. As biofertilizers, mycorrhizal symbiosis plays an important role uptake the productivity of plants. The aim this study was Rhizobium inoculations effect on plant growth mineral nutrition snap bean variety "Conte...

The stem and bulb nematode, Ditylenchus dipsaci, is a plant parasite that causes significant economic losses to growers of the main host plant, onion. Fungal mycorrhizae can increase growth induce systemic resistance against many diseases pests. However, no evidence detailed study was found regarding relationship with D. dipsaci. In this study, effects fungus, Rhizophagus irregularis, on onion ...

Bell pepper is an important vegetable crop containing lots of bioactive compounds. The present study was designed to improve the productivity and quality bell with application arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Rhizophagus irregularis) plant growth-promoting bacteria (Azotobacter chroococcum) in a combination chemical fertilizer. Five treatments consisted 75% fertilizer (T1), 100% (T2), + R. irregul...
