Lettuce can be associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). This symbiosis involves a molecular dialogue between fungus and plant that includes the activation of antioxidant, phenylpropanoid, or carotenoid pathways. The objective this study was to test if association lettuce AMF benefited growth increased contents compounds potentially beneficial for human health. Results showed improved lettuce, thus producing dilution effect on concentrations some mineral nutrients (e.g., Ca Mn)....
Rainfall regimes are expected to shift on a regional scale as the water cycle intensifies in warmer climate, resulting greater extremes dry versus wet conditions. Such changes having strong impact agro-physiological functioning of plants that up influence interactions between and microorganisms hence ecosystems. In (semi)-arid ecosystems, date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) -an irreplaceable tree- plays important socio-economic roles. current study, we implemeted an adapted management program...
The present study aimed to determine the effects of biostimulants on physicochemical parameters agricultural soil quinoa under two water regimes and understand mode action for drought adaptation. We investigated impact doses vermicompost (5 10 t/ha) arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi applied individually, or in joint application, attenuating negative impacts shortage improving agro-physiological biochemical traits quinoa, as well fertility, (well-watered stress) open field conditions. Exposure...
Salinity critically limits rice metabolism, growth, and productivity worldwide. Improvement of the salt resistance locally grown high-yielding cultivars is a slow process. The objective this study was to develop new salt-tolerant germplasm using speed-breeding. Here, we precisely introgressed hst1 gene, transferring salinity tolerance from "Kaijin" into "Yukinko-mai" (WT) through single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker-assisted selection. Using biotron speed-breeding technique, developed...
Irregular precipitation and drought caused an increase in tree mortality rates multiple forest biomes with alterations both ecosystem services carbon balance. Carob (Ceratonia siliqua) growth production arid semi-arid ecosystems are likely affected by climate change-induced droughts. Understanding the physiological responses of drought-induced early-stage death strategies to enhance tolerance optimize will help improvement programs. Mycorrhizal inoculation has a pronounced impact on plant...
The date palm is a commercially important woody crop and good target plant for improving agricultural yields in extreme environments. However, salinity has been the primary abiotic stress complicating its cultivation damaging production worldwide. This study investigated effect of alleviating salt on growth development by using arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and/or compost. experiment was arranged completely randomized design with eight treatments. treatments comprised control without...
Abstract It is known that volatile emissions from some beneficial rhizosphere microorganisms promote plant growth. Here we show compounds (VCs) emitted by phylogenetically diverse and non‐rhizhosphere bacteria fungi (including pathogens microbes do not normally interact mutualistically with plants) growth flowering of various species, including crops. In Arabidopsis plants exposed to VCs the phytopathogen Alternaria alternata , changes included enhancement photosynthesis accumulation high...
Salinity is one of the devastating abiotic stresses that cause reductions in agricultural production. The increased salinization affects alfalfa growth, metabolism, and rhizobium capacity for symbiotic N2 fixation negatively. This study was undertaken to investigate efficiency green compost (C; made from waste), arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (M; field-sourced native consortium), and/or (R; a salt-tolerant strain) individually or combination as an effective strategy improve productivity under...
Abstract In the current study, an eco-friendly management technology to improve young carob ( Ceratonia siliqua L.) tree tolerance water deficit was set up by using single or combined treatments of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and/or compost (C). Two groups have been installed: (i) cultivated under well-watered conditions (WW; 70% field capacity (FC)) and (ii) where plants were drought-stressed (DS; 35% FC) during 2, 4, 6, 8 months. The effect used biofertilizers on course growth,...
Climate change-driven water resource constraints cause tomatoes to suffer from drought. The use of biostimulants has emerged as an important approach enhancing resilience However, the roles in physicochemical characteristics response drought are poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated ability arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and compost (versus NPK application) improve agro-physiology, yield, fruit quality tomato plants their tolerance by comparing them with conventional chemical...
Global climate models predict an increase in global mean temperature and a higher frequency of intense heat spikes during this century. Cereals such as rice (Oryza sativa L.) are more susceptible to stress, mainly the gametogenesis flowering stages. During periods high temperatures, grain filling often causes serious damage quality and, therefore, yield losses. While genes encoding enzymes involved carbohydrate metabolism chalky grains have been established, significant knowledge gap exists...
Here, for the first time, we aimed to identify in rice key mechanisms and processes underlying tolerance high-temperature (HT) or salt stress (SS) alone, co-occurrence of both stresses, recovery using physiological biochemical measurements gene expression analysis. We also investigated whether from two stressors depended on relative intensities/relief each stressor. Wild type ('Yukinkomai') plants were found be more susceptible salinity heat applied individually. SS leads a depletion...
This study aimed to mitigate salt stress effects on lettuce by using native biostimulants (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (M, consortium), plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (R, Z2, and Z4 strains), compost (C)) applied alone or in combination under salinity (0, 50, 100 mM NaCl). Physiological, biochemical, nutritional, mycorrhizal, growth, soil characteristics were evaluated. Results revealed that growth physiological traits negatively affected salinity. However, colonization was enhanced...
The improvement of the nutritional quality lettuce by its association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has been recently reported in a previous study. aim this research was to evaluate if fertilization three P sources differing water solubility affects effectiveness AMF for improving growth and quality. application either water-soluble (Hewitt's solution single superphosphate) or water-insoluble (WI) fraction "rhizosphere-controlled fertilizer" did not exert negative effects on...
