Summary: This study manipulated AMF communities in grapevine rootstock and found that specific AMF communities had differential effects on grapevine rootstock growth and nutrient uptake. The presence of its own AMF community generally improved the performance of a rootstock. AMF spore diversity and the relative abundance of certain species played important roles in competition and growth outcomes.

Summary: The study found that artificial inoculation seems to be associated with better plant recovery or resilience following low water availability, particularly chronic/prolonged drought. Therefore, the research recommends the use of seedling production technique with long roots and pre-inoculation with selected native mycorrhizal fungi.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of relay intercropping of durum wheat and lentils on soil mycorrhizal fungi. The results showed that relay intercropping increased lentil grain yield and durum wheat grain protein concentration, and enhanced soil mycorrhizal activity. However, the effect on mycorrhizal root colonization varied. The changes in AMF species diversity and community structure were mainly influenced by crop species and year.

Summary: The effects of grazing and plant-arbuscular mycorrhizal (AMF) symbiosis on nutrient resorption by perennial plants in grasslands are influenced by the intensity of grazing. Different aged leaves have varying nutrient resorption efficiencies, and culms (photosynthetic stems) also play an important role in the overall nutrient budgets of plants. This study provides valuable insights for optimizing grazing management and improving biogeochemical models.

Summary: The present study found that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can regulate the circadian clock in trifoliate orange plants under drought conditions. AMF inoculation significantly improved plant growth, photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance, and increased ABA levels and antioxidant enzyme gene expression in the roots.

Summary: Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and Brassinosteroids (BR) play key roles in enhancing plant growth and development, with BR actively regulating AM symbiosis and synergistically promoting plant growth, while AM fungal colonization can alleviate the growth inhibition caused by excessive BR. The study provides insights into the complex interactions between phytohormones and AM symbiosis, offering implications for future research in this field.

Summary: The study found that perennial legumes may have synergistic effects with AMF and rhizobia, while annual plants do not. AMF and rhizobia can increase phosphorus and nitrogen tissue concentrations in plants to varying degrees. Microbial responses to co-infection are closely related to synergisms in plant growth.

Summary: The study demonstrates the positive role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in promoting tea plant growth and quality under salt stress by impacting lignin and cellulose synthesis. Differentially expressed genes in tea leaves under salt stress relate mainly to metabolic processes, membrane functions, and catalytic activities. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways analysis reveals enrichment in cellulose synthesis with AMF and lignin and cellulose synthesis without AMF under salt stress.

Summary: Symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi plays a crucial role in sustainable nutrient acquisition for plants, especially in rice which has been domesticated and bred for thousands of years. Recent studies on genetic variations and molecular mechanisms underlying AM symbiosis in rice could provide valuable insights for more sustainable agriculture.

Summary: The study investigates the mitigation effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation on heavy metal toxicity in Medicago truncatula under soil cadmium stress. The results show that AMF inoculation under Cd stress can enhance photosynthetic efficiency, increase plant biomass, decrease Cd and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and improve soil physicochemical properties in M. truncatula. Non-targeted metabolite analysis reveals that AMF inoculation under Cd stress significantly upregulates the production of various amino acids in inter-root metabolism and increases organic acid and phytohormone synthesis.

Summary: The study found that warming significantly altered the AMF community structure, with higher AMF richness under the simulated warming chamber, but only at the elevation of 3,500 m. Warming did not affect other AMF alpha diversity indices. Glomus and Acaulospora were the dominant AMF genera in control and warming treatments at different elevations.

Summary: The study identified the crucial role of legume TOR in the development of AM fungal symbiosis, showing that suppressing TOR transcripts significantly affects lateral root formation and the quantity of internal and external fungi in the roots. It also indicated that PvTOR primarily influences root development during AM symbiosis by regulating arbuscule formation.
