Soil microbiota plays a fundamental role in nutrient cycles and plant fitness. However, the response of bacterial fungal communities interacting with plants to an increase water regime natural ecosystems has yet be extensively studied. To address this matter, we studied rhizospheric root endophytic microbial simulated intense precipitation desert environment. We used amplicon sequencing identify (16S) (ITS) Haloxylon salicornicum (Moq) Bunge ex Boiss., pivotal species high potential for land...
<title>Abstract</title> Hot deserts impose extreme conditions on plants growing in arid soils. Deserts are expanding due to climate change, thereby increasing the vulnerability of ecosystems and need preserve them. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) improve plant fitness by enhancing water/nutrient uptake stress tolerance. However, few studies have focused AMF diversity community composition deserts, soil land use parameters affecting This study aimed comprehensively describe ecological...
<title>Abstract</title> In arid regions, excessive water use threatens agricultural sustainability and overall livelihoods. It is essential to minimize consumption address these issues. Date palm (<italic>Phoenix dactylifera</italic> L.) an emblematic crop of regions a major consumer. Tailoring current irrigation systems into new, water-efficient could help cope with the this crop. Microbial communities associated plants are for improve efficiency in threatened by scarcity. These should thus...
Abstract Parasitic plants cause yield losses for important crops. Among these, Orobanche cumana Wallr, sunflower broomrape, is one of the major pests sunflower. Previous studies stated that in most cases, haustorium, a specific parasitic plant organ, penetrates host roots intercellularly. However, cellular mechanisms involved during cells penetration remained poorly described. We investigated root behavior haustorium using various microscopy approaches including live cell imaging inoculated...
