In the dynamic landscape of agriculture and food science, incorporating emergent crops
appears as a pioneering solution for diversifying agriculture, unlocking possibilities for …

Hypogeous fungi are common in arid and semi-arid areas of the Mediterranean basin and,
in particular, they are found in Italy, Spain, northern African countries (especially in Morocco …

Complex interactions between mycorrhizal helper bacteria (MHBs) and mycorrhizal fungi
have rarely been studied in the context of drought. Separately, both MHB inoculation and …

Desert truffles are edible hypogeous fungi forming ectendomycorrhizal symbiosis with plants
of Cistaceae family. Knowledge about the reproductive modes of these fungi and the …

We have performed the isolation, functional characterization, and expression analysis of
aquaporins in roots and leaves of Helianthemum almeriense, in order to evaluate their roles …

Desert truffles are edible hypogenous fungi that are very well adapted to conditions of aridity
in arid and semi-arid regions. This study aims to highlight the influence of climatic factors on …

Under abiotic stress conditions, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi help plants by improving
nutrient and water uptake. Finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) is an arid crop having soils …

Sixty-four native bacterial colonies were isolated from mycorrhizal roots of Helianthemum
almeriense colonized by Terfezia claveryi, mycorrhizosphere soil, and peridium of T. claveryi …

Two new species of Terfezia, Terfezia grisea and Terfezia cistophila, are documented from
Spain and Greece, based on morphology and ITS-rDNA sequence data. Macro and micro …

The establishment of a mycorrhizal symbiosis can change plant aquaporin gene expression
and protein accumulation. However, the regulation of plant aquaporins seems to be …
