Autochthonous microorganisms [a consortium of arbuscular-mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)] were assayed and compared to Rhizophagus intraradices (Ri) …

As the Earth's climate changes, droughts are expected to become more intense, with
consequences for plants and mycorrhizal fungi. We review recent studies examining the …

Soil salinization and drought are major and growing ecological problems. They limit the
productivity of crop plants cultivated on more than 20% of total agricultural lands worldwide …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are commonly occurring soil microbes whose association
with roots can have wide ranging effects on growth of the host plants. These fungi are …

Abiotic stresses [ie, salinity, drought, high temperatures, and pollutants such as trace
elements (TEs) and/or petroleum, crude oil, and PAHs] have detrimental effects on plant …

The survival of plants under adverse conditions in desert habitats is related to microbial
interactions, which can be an innovative strategy for reducing the effects of drought stress in …

To increase food production, prevalent agricultural malpractices such as intensive use of
fertilizers and pesticides have led to degradation of the ecosystem. In this situation, there is a …

In the current study, an eco-friendly management technology to improve young carob
(Ceratonia siliqua L.) tree tolerance to water deficit was set up by using single or combined …

At present, drought and soil salinity are among the most severe environmental stresses that
affect the growth of plants through marked reduction of water uptake which lowers water …

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