The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are significant fertility-promoting microbes in soils.
They enable soil fertility, soil-health and boost crop productivity. There are generalist and …

Mineral nutrition, taken up from the soil or foliar sprayed, plays fundamental roles in plant
growth and development. Among of at least 14 mineral elements, the macronutrients …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitously found in terrestrial ecosystems and are increasingly
recognized as a factor of global change (GCF). Current research shows that MP can alter …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) promote water and mineral nutrients uptake by plant
roots, which can reduce the chemical fertilizer inputs in crop production. To gain better …

Strawberry shape uniformity is a complex trait, influenced by multiple genetic and
environmental components. To complicate matters further, the phenotypic assessment of …

A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of carbon amendments, tillage, and
cover cropping on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) association and root architecture at …

Understanding how strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) nutritional and quality traits are
genetically regulated and correlated is an essential step towards improving marker-assisted …

In underdeveloped nations where low-input agriculture is practiced, low phosphorus (LP) in
the soil reduces the production of maize. In the present study, a total of 550 inbred maize …

Nanoparticles have unique physical and chemical properties due to their small size,
allowing them to exhibit unexpected optical, chemical, and physical characteristics. The …

Background: Nanoparticles, due to their small size and large surface area, have unique
physicochemical properties that make them attractive for a wide range of industrial, medical …
