Summary: The study found that different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi species applied through different methods can enhance maize growth, increase nutrient uptake, and reduce root exudates. Among them, the application of F.M through seed coating+soil application was the most effective.

Summary: Root traits and AM fungi play crucial roles in determining plant access to soil resources. However, it remains unclear whether plants with different root systems (taproot vs. fibrous-root) exhibit varying plasticity of root traits and responsiveness to mycorrhizal colonization under drought conditions.

Summary: The ratio of pedogenic Fe to aluminous clay is more consequential for organic carbon storage and stabilization than their individual contents, with certain mineralogical combinations in the humid tropics alleviating organic matter losses during land conversion. Despite the fact that Fe (oxyhydr)oxides generally exert a stronger impact on organic carbon than aluminous clays, the conjunction of large amounts of Fe (oxyhydr)oxides with low aluminous clay contents causes the strongest accumulation of mineral-associated organic carbon and high organic carbon persistence during land-use change.

Summary: This study demonstrates that mycorrhizal symbiosis improves root vigor and promotes nutrient accumulation at various sites; in addition, mycorrhizal symbiosis affects the content of organic acids in root exudates.

Summary: This study compares the contribution of mycorrhizal fungi to soil structure during subalpine vegetation succession. The results show that mycorrhizal fungi have a significant impact on soil structure during grassland and shrubland succession stages, but have a smaller effect during the primary forests stage.

Summary: Soil mycorrhization plays a crucial role in enhancing the mineral content of early organic potato tubers, particularly in low fertility soils. The research revealed that soil mycorrhization can increase the accumulation of Na, Cu, Mn, and P in tubers while reducing the Na/K ratio.

Summary: Soil microorganisms, particularly arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), play a crucial role in biological soil functioning. However, the impact of cover crops on native mycorrhizal fungi is not well understood. This study conducted in southern France examined the influence of cover crops on the native AM fungal community associated with walnut trees. The results showed that cover crops mainly affected soil microbial abundance and activities in conventional farming, whereas they stimulated AM fungal colonization of walnut roots in organic farming.

Summary: Aggregation in tropical soils is modulated by mineralogical regime, with different mineral combinations causing moderate but significant differences in aggregate size distribution. However, overall organic carbon persistence in these highly weathered soils is more regulated by direct mineral-organic interactions rather than aggregation. The presence of aluminous clay and pedogenic Fe oxides was found to affect aggregation and organic carbon storage in the studied soils.

Summary: Belowground interactions between plants and other organisms in the rhizosphere are dependent on chemical signals, with parasitic plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi playing important roles in modulating plant hormone levels in host plant roots and root exudates. In a model system, interactions between parasitic plants, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and host plants lead to significant changes in levels of plant hormones.

Summary: The diversity and community composition of AMF in roots and rhizosphere soil of dominant perennial grasses were found to change in response to grazing intensity. Different virtual taxa of AMF showed varying responses along the grazing gradient, with Glomeraceae being the most abundant family. Grazing preference by sheep did not explain much of the variation in AMF diversity, but the two grass species exhibited different AMF community composition in their roots and rhizosphere soils. Overall, long-term grazing intensity may have favored disturbance-tolerant AMF taxa.

Summary: This study aimed to select a suitable host and substrate for Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM; Rhizophagus sp.) inoculum multiplication. The results showed that the BNH plant species grown in vermiculite with vermicompost substrate had the highest mycorrhizal spore number and root colonization, as well as increased uptake of micronutrients. On the other hand, maize amended with vermiculite and vermicompost showed higher uptake of iron. Furthermore, both hosts amended with FYM exhibited significant increases in root length, shoot length, and root biomass. The root colonization was positively correlated with root biomass and uptake of macronutrients and micronutrients.

Summary: This study standardized six media and found that a mixture of solirite and red soil was the most suitable for AMF production, resulting in higher root colonization and spore density. There was a positive correlation between spore density and root colonization.

Summary: This study investigates the colonization and community composition of AM fungi in NM plants, particularly along elevational gradients. The results show that elevation and total NM plant biomass influence the AM fungal colonization density, and AM fungal diversity and community composition in different plants exhibit similar patterns. Elevation and soil have limited impact on AM community in C. capillacea, while being significant for assemblages in rhizosphere soil and P. annua.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of a cobia farm on nematode assemblages and found significant changes during the rearing cycle, including increased abundance, low diversity, and changes in trophic group dominance. The research indicated that fish farming in oligotrophic and dynamic tropical regions can lead to alterations in nematode communities.

Summary: The effects of two types of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inocula on lettuce and green onion were examined. The AMF inoculation did not significantly affect the yield and root system architecture of the crops. Nitrate accumulation was within the limits set by the European Commission. However, important phytochemical characteristics and antioxidant capacity showed a tendency for reduced values in the AMF-treated lettuce.
