Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Associated Microbiota as Plant Biostimulants: Research Strategies for the Selection of the Best Performing Inocula

摘要: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are beneficial soil microorganisms establishing mutualistic symbioses with the roots of most important food crops and playing key roles in maintenance long-term fertility health. The great inter- intra-specific AMF diversity can be fully exploited by selecting inocula on basis their colonization ability efficiency, which affected fungal plant genotypes diverse environmental variables. multiple services provided result synergistic activities bacterial communities living mycorrhizosphere, encompassing nitrogen fixation, P solubilization, production phytohormones, siderophores, antibiotics. tripartite association among host plants, symbionts, associated bacteria show emerging properties could efficiently sustainable agriculture. Further in-depth studies, both microcosms field, performed different species isolates, should evaluate ability, resilience. Transcriptomic studies reveal expression levels nutrient transporter genes absorbing hyphae presence selected strains. Eventually, newly designed multifunctional microbial consortia utilized as biofertilizers biostimulants innovative systems.
