As one of the most important and essential macronutrients next to nitrogen, phosphorus (P)
is important for plant development, but it is the least mobile nutrient element in plant and soil …

Plants associate with communities of microbes (bacteria and fungi) that play critical roles in
plant development, nutrient acquisition and oxidative stress tolerance. The major share of …

Soil salinity is the major abiotic stress that disrupts nutrient uptake, hinders plant growth, and
threatens agricultural production. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are the most …

Abiotic stresses in soil occur due to high salinity, temperature, drought, heavy metals, and
nutrients inhibit the functions of plants and cause a reduction in crop productivity. The …

Soil drought, an important abiotic stress, seriously inhibits plant growth and physiological
activities. However, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in soil can enhance plant adaptability …

Global water shortage seriously threatens rice growth especially in irrigated production
areas. Association of plants with beneficial soil microbes is one strategy for plant adaption to …

Endophytes are typically non-pathogenic microbes that at some period in their life cycles
colonize the interior spaces of plant tissues. There is a growing interest in the role of the …

The sensitivity of rice plants to salinity is a major challenge for rice growth and productivity in
the salt-affected lands. Priming rice seeds in biostimulants with stress-alleviating potential is …

This study mainly aimed to investigate the effects of dark septate endophytes
(DSE)(Acrocalymma vagum, Paraboeremia putaminum, and Fusarium acuminatum) on the …

Crop plants are continuously exposed to various abiotic stresses like drought, salinity,
ultraviolet radiation, low and high temperatures, flooding, metal toxicities, nutrient …
