Summary: This study assessed the efficacy of four arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species in imparting cadmium stress tolerance to pigeonpea plants. The results showed that mycorrhizal supplementations enhanced growth and yield by reducing cadmium uptake and improving carbohydrate synthesis of stressed plants. Rhizoglomus intraradices showed the highest efficacy in alleviating cadmium stress.

Summary: The experiment highlighted the important role of mycorrhizal fungi in increasing phosphorus bioavailability and soil organic carbon content, but had limited effects on other nutrient uptake and metal excess alleviation in olive plants. Olive plants showed their own exclusion mechanisms for metals, with higher iron levels in roots compared to shoots. The increase in plant dry matter in the mycorrhizal treatment was attributed to the initial content of N, P, and K in the commercial product. The commercial mycorrhizal fungi may not benefit farmers in this specific context, suggesting the need for targeted use in agriculture.

Summary: This study found that the foliar application of easily extractable GRSP (EE-GRSP) has significant effects on fruit quality and soil structural changes in citrus varieties. EE-GRSP can enhance root mycorrhizal fungal colonization and soil hyphal length, improve external and internal quality of fruits, increase soil available nutrients, and regulate soil structure.

Summary: This study showed that inoculation with Funneliformis mosseae can improve plant growth and root exudate compositions, increase soil glomalin concentrations, and enhance soil aggregate stability. The mycorrhizal fungi can mitigate drought damage by altering root exudate components and soil protein levels in the rhizosphere.

Summary: This study visually analyzed the literature on GRSP in the C field from 1999 to 2022 using CiteSpace software and the core collection of Web of Science. The study found that research on GRSP in the C field could be divided into an initial stage, a steady stage, and an explosive stage. The Chinese Academy of Sciences had the most publications, and the United States, China, and India were the leading nations in the C field of GRSP.

Summary: Fine roots play a crucial role in terrestrial biogeochemical cycles, and the functions of mycorrhizal fungi in regulating plant uptake of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are important. This study found that the mycorrhizal type has a significant impact on the fine-root stoichiometry of Chinese plants, with differences observed between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) plants. The fine-root stoichiometry of AM plants is mainly influenced by soil environment, while ECM plants are more sensitive to climatic factors. These findings emphasize the importance of considering the mycorrhizal effect when studying the relationship between plant nutrient uptake and environmental changes.

Summary: Earthworms and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play important roles in improving soil fertility and plant growth. Addition of earthworms increased root colonization by AMF, but decreased fungal length and spore number in the soil. Single or dual inoculation of AMF and earthworms significantly improved root traits and soil properties. Dual inoculation further enhanced glomalin production, phosphatase activity, and aggregate stability, but did not have a superposition effect on root improvement, phosphorus, and soil organic carbon content.

Summary: This study analyzed the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and earthworms on plant growth and nitrogen content in soil. The introduction of earthworms improved the effect of AM fungi on chlorophyll and plant growth. The introduction of earthworms increased root and soil nitrogen content, while the introduction of AM fungi increased nitrogen content in leaves, roots, easily extractable glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP), and soil. AM fungi increased the contribution of nitrogen in GRSP to soil total nitrogen, and the introduction of earthworms further accelerated this effect.

Summary: This study found that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) were present in the roots of selected plants in the University of Rajshahi campus in Bangladesh, with different colonization rates in different plant families. The deficient nutrient levels in the rhizospheric soils may promote mycorrhizal symbiosis with plants.
