Summary: The shortage of water for irrigation is a major problem in arid and semiarid regions. To combat this issue, deficit irrigation and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation have been proposed. An experiment on melon plants showed that AMF inoculation improved plant tolerance to moderate water stress and certain fruit quality parameters. Moderate deficit irrigation combined with AMF inoculation allowed for water savings without affecting fruit yield, while also increasing water use efficiency and certain fruit quality characteristics. The use of AMF plants also had potential to reduce yield loss and improve fruit quality under severe deficit irrigation.

Summary: Casuarina glauca is an important coastal protection forest species that faces high salt stress all year round. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can promote the growth and salt tolerance of C. glauca under salt stress. This study investigated the effects of Rhizophagus irregularis on plant biomass, Na+ and Cl- distribution, and gene expression in C. glauca under NaCl stress through pot simulation experiments.

Summary: Selenium is an essential trace element for humans, and AMF inoculation and selenium fertilizer application have a promoting effect on selenium uptake in soybean. Fertilization with selenite and inoculation with different AMF strains affect the speciation, biomass and accumulation of selenium in soybean. The combined use of AMF inoculation and selenium fertilizer increases the bioavailable selenium in soil and promotes the total selenium concentration and organic selenium accumulation in soybean. These results suggest that AMF inoculation combined with selenium fertilizer can be a promising strategy for selenium biofortification in soybean.

Summary: Utilization of plants-microbe's interactions to remediate calcium (Ca) deficiency soils is effective and practical. A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation and the synergy of AMF and Ca fertilizer on physiological and transcriptomic responses in apple rootstock roots. The results revealed that AMF and Ca fertilizer synergistically extended the root system, increased calcium levels, and regulated the expression of genes related to growth and calcium uptake pathways, leading to improved growth and calcium effectiveness in soil.

Summary: The dual inoculation of maize with AMF and DSE from other plant species had positive effects on plant growth, with the outcome depending on the density of DSE. Low density DSE had lesser impact on plant growth compared to medium or high densities, and AMF promoted above-ground growth more than DSE, while high density DSE promoted root development more than AMF. The combination of AMF and DSE could lead to synergistic growth effects at low DSE density and competitive effects at medium to high DSE densities.

Summary: Interventions with commercial inoculants have the potential to reduce the environmental footprint of agriculture, but their indiscriminate deployment has raised questions on the unintended consequences of microbial invasion. This article examines the present framework used to define arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) invasion and offers perspectives on the steps needed to avoid negative impacts. It suggests strategies to reduce overdependence on introduced inoculants and recommends policies and regulations to monitor inoculant value chains.

Summary: Coastal erosion has caused increasing damage to coastal shelterbelts. In this study, it was found that inoculation with different AMF strains can improve the growth and nitrogen utilization of Gleditsia sinensis Lam. and Zelkova serrata (Thunb.) Makino under different salt concentrations. Funneliformis mosseae (FM) showed the most significant positive effects on plant growth.

Summary: The interaction between AM fungi and plants shapes the surrounding soil microbial communities, possibly due to enhanced growth of host plants changing the amount, timing, and form of carbon inputs into soil. This study found changes in the community composition of soil microbial groups in mesocosms inoculated with AM fungi on grass and clover plants, leading to increased plant productivity and other performance measures.

Summary: The study found that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can improve plant tolerance to low-temperature stress by regulating proline accumulation. Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important signaling role in proline metabolism. The level of environmental nitrogen (N) affects AMF colonization and its contribution to plant resistance under low-temperature conditions.

Summary: The rapid increase in soil salinization threatens agricultural output and food security. Improving soil fertility and agricultural yield is crucial, as abiotic factors like soil salinity have rendered a third of land unproductive. Microbes play a key role in addressing agricultural challenges, particularly in communication and stress reduction between plants and beneficial microbes. Proteins and metabolites synthesized by bacteria and plants have important roles in plant stress tolerance, and their genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic characterization aids in increasing crop output.
