Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish symbiotic interaction with 80% of known land
plants. It has a pronounced impact on plant growth, water absorption, mineral nutrition, and …

Plants are often subjected to various environmental stresses during their life cycle, among
which drought stress is perhaps the most significant abiotic stress limiting plant growth and …

Salinity and drought are the major osmotic stress limitations that affect plant growth and crop
yield in agriculture worldwide. The alternative response mediated by plants in response to …

Drought stress (DS) is a serious abiotic stress and a major concern across the globe as its
intensity is continuously climbing. Therefore, it is direly needed to develop new management …

Arbuscular mycorrhizas enhance the drought tolerance of host plants through several
underlying mechanisms. Polyamines (PAs) are known to protect plant cells from the …

Abiotic stresses (such as salinity, drought, cold, heat, mineral deficiency and
metals/metalloids) have become major threats to the global agricultural production. These …

Citrus is one of the most widely cultivated fruit crops, whose rhizosphere inhabits a class of
beneficial fungi, popularly known as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Different species of …

Background Endophytic fungi are little known for exogenous secretion of phytohormones
and mitigation of salinity stress, which is a major limiting factor for agriculture production …

Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.), being a high silicon (Si)-accumulator, is a major global food
crop for more than half of the world's population. However, both salinity and drought, two of …

Extreme drought is likely to become more frequent and intense as a result of global climate
change, which may significantly impact plant root traits and responses (ie, morphology …
