Multiplex qPCR assays to distinguish individual species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi from roots and soil

Wade P. Heller et al.

Summary: A novel multiplex real-time PCR assay has been developed to detect and measure the abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) commonly found in temperate agricultural soils. These tools not only increase the efficiency of root colonization measurements but also provide species-specific levels of root colonization from a single sample, aiding in understanding the benefits of AMF for crops.

Effects of Carbon Amendments, Tillage and Cover Cropping on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Association and Root Architecture in Corn and Cotton Crop Sequence

Binita Thapa et al.

Summary: This field experiment investigated the effects of carbon amendments, tillage, and cover cropping on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) association and root architecture. The results showed that using biochar increased AMF colonization in roots, and no tillage and cover crop treatments increased AMF colonization in cotton. Carbon amendments did not affect corn root length but did alter root angle. Different cover crop species also had different effects on root length and root angle.

Roles of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on Soil Fertility: Contribution in the Improvement of Physical, Chemical, and Biological Properties of the Soil

Abdoulaye Fofana Fall et al.

Summary: Many soils around the world are degrading at an alarming rate, mainly due to climate change and agricultural practices. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) play a crucial role in improving soil fertility by enhancing carbon sequestration, nutrient availability, microbial activities, and soil structure. They also influence the composition, diversity, and activity of microbial communities in the soil. Future research should focus on addressing knowledge gaps and further exploring the potential of AMF in sustaining soil fertility.

Biocontrol of Fusarium root rot in squash using mycorrhizal fungi and antagonistic microorganisms

Eman E. S. El-Sharkawy et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Trichoderma species, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas fluorescens on Fusarium solani, the causal agent of root rot in squash. The results showed that Trichoderma harzianum had the greatest inhibitory effect on the growth of F. solani. Field experiments also demonstrated that combined inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, T. harzianum, and B. subtilis significantly increased the resistance and yield of squash plants.

Distribution of plant mycorrhizal traits along an elevational gradient does not fully mirror the latitudinal gradient

C. Guillermo Bueno et al.

Summary: The distribution of different mycorrhizal types and status of plants along elevation gradients presents certain trends, with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) species slightly decreasing and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species peaking at 1000 m asl. Additionally, obligately mycorrhizal (OM) plant species decreased in proportion, while facultatively mycorrhizal (FM) species increased in proportion with increasing elevation.

Temperature and pH define the realised niche space of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

John Davison et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the distribution of AM fungal taxa worldwide is jointly influenced by environmental and spatial factors, with dispersal limitation explaining only some variations. The relative abundance of VT is predominantly driven by environmental variables, and closely related VT exhibit similar niche optima and widths.

Influence of edaphic and management factors on soils aggregates stability under no-tillage in Mollisols and Vertisols of the Pampa Region, Argentina

Filipe Behrends Kraemer et al.

Summary: The Pampa Region of Argentina faces challenges in soil water regime due to decline in aggregates stability, leading to simplification of crop sequences with soybean predominance. However, some farmers are intensifying crop sequences to avoid soil degradation and maintain economic incomes. Soil management practices and cropping intensity have significant impacts on soil aggregate stability, with more intensive agricultural managements resulting in enhanced aggregates stability in Mollisols and Vertisol.

Effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the physiological functioning of maize under zinc-deficient soils

Abdul Saboor et al.

Summary: Zinc deficiency can have a severe impact on plant growth, yield, and enzymatic activities. Zinc plays a vital role in various enzymatic activities in plants. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can help improve plant zinc nutrition and mitigate zinc stress effects. In a study comparing zinc levels on inoculated and non-inoculated maize plants, it was found that AMF-inoculated maize had higher gas exchange traits and improved antioxidant enzyme activity, benefiting nutrient uptake.
