Arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi (AMF) are a big player of the ecosystem which shows a major
concern over plant nutrition by providing access to the soil-derived nutrients. Naturally, an …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient required to enhance crop growth and yield. In the arid–
semiarid region, Zn deficiency is expected due to alkaline calcareous soil. Contrarily, Zn …

Stress is ubiquitous and disrupts homeostasis, leading to damage, decreased fitness, and
even death. Like other organisms, mycorrhizal fungi evolved mechanisms for stress …

Both biotic and abiotic stresses are major constrains to agricultural production. Under stress
conditions, plant growth is affected by a number of factors such as hormonal and nutritional …

Microbes play key geoactive roles in the biosphere, particularly in the areas of element
biotransformations and biogeochemical cycling, metal and mineral transformations …

Trace metals such as manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) are essential
for many biological processes in plant life cycles. However, in excess, they can be toxic and …

Put Theory into Practice Scarcity of natural resources, higher costs, higher demand, and
concerns about environmental pollution-under these circumstances, improving food supply …

The study of the role that fungi have played and are playing in fundamental geological
processes can be termed 'geomycology'and this article seeks to emphasize the fundamental …

Use of plants, with hyperaccumulating ability or in association with soil microbes including
the symbiotic fungi, arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), are among the most common biological …

The development of symbioses between soil fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM), and most
terrestrial plants can be very beneficial to both partners and hence to the ecosystem. Among …
