Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important components of terrestrial ecosystems and sustainable agricultural practices, forming mutually beneficial symbiotic associations with roots of most land plants including crops by providing them with nutrients in exchange for photosynthesis-derived carbon and protection from biotic and abiotic stresses. Microorganisms, including bacteria, are emerging as important new players in t...
Root endophytic bacterial communities are shaped by the specific microbiota associated to mycorrhizal symbiontsNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are beneficial soil microorganisms establishing mutualistic symbioses with most crop plants and promoting plant growth and health. AMF beneficial activities are complemented by their associated microbiota, leading to synergistic interactions positively affecting plant performance. In this work we assessed whether AMF may act as drivers of root bacterial endophytes, facilit...
Purpose Grapevine ( Vitis vinifera L.) is a relevant crop, which is associated to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that are influenced by agricultural practices. The hypothesis of this study is that organic/biodynamic management stimulates grapevine mycorrhizal colonisation and increases AMF diversity in Chilean vineyards. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of agricultural management on AMF association and...
Climate change and global warming have contributed to increase terrestrial drought, causing negative impacts on agricultural production. Drought stress may be addressed using novel agronomic practices and beneficial soil microorganisms, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), able to enhance plant use efficiency of soil resources and water and increase plant antioxidant defence systems. Specific traits functional to plant...
Native mycorrhizal communities in maize roots as affected by plant genotype, starter fertilization and a seed-applied biostimulantNARA Subscribed
Background and aims One of the most promising strategies for sustainable intensification of crop production involves the utilization of beneficial root-associated microorganisms, such as plant growth-promoting bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The aim of this study was to investigate whether a seed-applied biostimulant, based on the bacterial strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens IT-45 and a plant polysaccharide ext...
The increased ultraviolet radiation (UV) due to the altered stratospheric ozone leads to multiple plant physiological and biochemical adaptations, likely affecting their interaction with other organisms, such as pests and pathogens. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and UV-B treatment can be used as eco-friendly techniques to protect crops from pests by activating plant mechanisms of resistance. In this study, we investigated...
Zinc and Iron Biofortification and Accumulation of Health-Promoting Compounds in Mycorrhizal Cichorium intybus L.NARA Subscribed
The positive impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbionts on plant growth and health has been reported for many species, and supports their use as biofertilizers and bioenhancers. Here, the potential role of the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiont Funneliformis mosseae in the improvement of chicory ( Cichorium intybus L.) nutritional value, in terms of nutrient uptake and accumulation of health-promoting compounds, was studied using...
