Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors that determine the growth
and productivity of plants across the globe. Many physiological and biochemical processes …

The impact of stress on crop productivity and the ecosystem have been magnified by climate
changes and mispractices in the agriculture field. Soil microbiome is a diverse system …

Abiotic stresses (such as salinity, drought, cold, heat, mineral deficiency and
metals/metalloids) have become major threats to the global agricultural production. These …

Cold stress is an important abiotic factor that adversely affects the growth and productivity of
different agricultural crops globally. It leads to slower plant metabolism, cell membrane …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbiotic association with a majority of plant species
and act as a bridge between soil and plants, improving both plant health and soil fertility. In …

Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between the roots of plants with fungi. Among the
various types of mycorrhizal fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the most …

Water deficit is considered one of the most important abiotic constraints limiting plant growth
and yield in many areas on the Earth. Indeed, it accounts for over 70% of yield losses during …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form mutualistic mycorrhizal symbiotic associations with
the roots of approximately 80% of all terrestrial plant species while facilitate the uptake of …

Abiotic stresses hamper plant growth and productivity. Climate change and agricultural
malpractices like excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides have aggravated the effects of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi could mitigate individual drought and heat stress in host
plants. However, there are still major gaps in our understanding of AM symbiosis response …
