Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play vital roles in the growth and development of plants, ecosystem sustainability, and stability in agroecosystem, such as transporting nutrients to host plants, ...

Moreover, inoculation with AM fungi increased plant superoxide dismutase and catalase activities by 4.70–150.73% and 9.10–95.70%, respectively, and reduced leaf malondialdehyde content by 2.79–55.01%, ...

Researchers at the Bayreuth Center for Ecology and Environmental Research (BayCEER) at the University of Bayreuth have found ...

Arbuscular mycorrhiza is the most common form of symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant. The fungal hyphae penetrate plant cells and develop branching ...

To meet this requirement, coffee growers usually apply di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), which is highly sensitive to local price fluctuations. The use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and ...

Networks emerge because mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic partnerships with plant roots, through which the plants receive nutrients and the fungi receive carbon. It has been demonstrated that plant ...

While there is no magical all-healing mushroom in the real world (that we know of), mycologists are scouring the globe for a curious type of hidden fungi that needs protection. “Ninety percent of ...

Dr Harry Langford, Head of Sustainability at the UK Agri-Tech Centre, highlights the role of soil health in agriculture.

Researchers identified a gene mutation that boosts plant partnerships with soil microbes, enhancing nutrient uptake and reducing fertilizer dependence. The discovery advances sustainable farming by ...

Researchers have discovered a biological mechanism that makes plant roots more welcoming to beneficial soil microbes. This discovery by John Innes Centre researchers paves the way for more ...

Autoactivate CNGC15 enhances root endosymbiosis in legume and wheat appears in Nature Left, Medicago truncatula root hair with flourescent cell nucleus; top right dye-stained root nodule, the site of ...
