Mining activities generally decrease topsoil and vegetation, reduce soil biodiversity, and
yield extremely harsh environmental conditions, which in turn limit natural revegetation and …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential mineral nutrient for plant growth and development. Low
availability of inorganic phosphate (orthophosphate; Pi) in soil seriously restricts the crop …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the discovery and characterization of the two
Arabidopsis PHT1 genes encoding the phosphate transporter in Arabidopsis thaliana. So …

In a field experiment conducted in a Mediterranean area of inner Sicily, durum wheat was
inoculated with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), with arbuscular mycorrhizal …

Phosphorus (P) is one of the most important macronutrients for plant growth and yield. Low
availability of inorganic phosphate (Pi) in soil substantially curbs crop production, whereas …

The Phosphate Transporter1 (PHT1) family of genes plays pivotal roles in the uptake of
inorganic phosphate from soils. However, there is no comprehensive report on the PHT1 …

Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient for the productivity of many agroecosystems, and the
depletion of global mineral P reserves is of concern for global food security. On the other …

The objective of the study was to evaluate the fertilizing potential of two arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeraceae and Acaulosporaceae) native to the rhizosphere soils of …

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most perilous soil contaminants, restricting growth and yielding
potential of crop plants. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can impart Cd stress tolerance …
