Abstract Salinization of soil with sodium chloride ions inhibits plant functions, causing reduction yield crops. Salt tolerant microorganisms have been studied to enhance crop growth under salinity. This review describes the performance endophytic fungi applied crops as a supplement genetics or management alleviate salt stress in is achieved via inducing systemic resistance, increasing levels beneficial metabolites, activating antioxidant systems scavenge ROS, and modulating phytohormones....
Biostimulants are non-nutritive fertiliser additives which have demonstrated improvements to growth outputs of various agricultural crops. As a result, they gained attention as sustainable components in cultivation practices, particularly the rapidly emerging cannabis spheres, including medicinal and industrial cultivation. One point focus cultivators is plant's efficiency nutrient utilisation, attributed vigour activity roots. Despite interest this topic, due concealment plant roots within...
Seed germination is the essential first step in crop establishment, and can be severely affected by salinity stress which inhibit metabolic processes during process. Salt seed trigger lipid-dependent signalling cascades that activate plant adaptation processes, lead to changes membrane fluidity help resist stress, cause secondary metabolite responses due increased oxidative stress. In germinating barley (Hordeum vulgare), knowledge of spatial distribution lipids other small molecules at a...
Soil salinity has a serious impact on plant growth and agricultural yield. Inoculation of crop plants with fungal endophytes is cost-effective way to improve salt tolerance. We used metabolomics study how Trichoderma harzianum T-22 alleviates NaCl-induced stress in two barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars, Gairdner Vlamingh, contrasting GC-MS was analyse polar metabolites LC-MS lipids roots during the early stages interaction Trichoderma. reversed severe effects root length sensitive cv....
One of the most important environmental factors impacting crop plant productivity is soil salinity. Fungal endophytes have been characterised as biocontrol agents that help in and induce resistance responses to several abiotic stresses, including In salt-tolerant cereal barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), there limited information about metabolites lipids change response inoculation with fungal saline conditions. this study, gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC-MS) LC-electrospray...
As agriculture and food security face unprecedented challenges, emerging agricultural innovations existing practices require ongoing examination in the context of sustainability. In this review, we focus on use probiotic microorganisms for improved plant production. plants are enormously diverse, emphasis is placed fundamental sites plant-microbe interactions regarding benefits challenges encountered when altering microbiome these locations. The soil, external epidermis, internal tissue...
Increases in soil salinity impact growth and agricultural yield by inhibiting plant functions. Interactions of fungal endophytes with crop plants can improve tolerance is a less expensive approach. Here, the role Trichoderma harzianum T-22 alleviating NaCl-induced stress two barley genotypes (cv. Vlamingh cv. Gairdner) has been investigated. Metabolomics using GC-MS for polar metabolites LC-MS lipids was employed to provide insights into biochemical changes inoculated roots during early...
Abstract Background and Aims Nitrogen (N) deficiency in soil constrains plant growth, which may potentially be alleviated by beneficial microbes. However, there is limited knowledge of the plant-microbe interactions wheat cultivars with different N-use efficiency (NUE) under N deficiency. Methods We investigated responses root endosphere microorganisms as well metabolites two (cv. Mace Gladius) reported high low NUE, respectively, using a glasshouse experiment hydroponic three levels....

Abstract Increases in soil salinity impacts growth and yield of agricultural plants by inhibiting plant functions. Soil salinization is increasing because the pressure a growing population on food supply. Genetically modified crops breeding techniques are being used to produce tolerant salt stress. However, interactions fungal endophytes with crop can also improve tolerance less expensive approach. Here, role Trichoderma harzianum T-22 alleviating NaCl-induced stress two barley genotypes...
