Drought stress profoundly affects native desert plants' survival and performance. Among all
the abiotic stresses, drought is considered a major constraint that influences the structure …

The desert, which covers around one-third of Earth's continental surface, is defined as the
harshest terrestrial environment and comprises a highly extensive biome of the terrestrial …

Aims This study aimed to investigate how dark septate endophytes (DSE) from arid habitats
affect host growth and their application to crops and medicinal plants in drought-prone soils …

Hedysarum scoparium, a species characterized by rapid growth and high drought
resistance, has been used widely for vegetative restoration of arid regions in Northwest …

Agricultural yields are under constant jeopardy as climate change and abiotic pressures
spread worldwide. Using rhizospheric microbes as biostimulants/biofertilizers is one of the …

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) appear to protect host plants against a variety of biotic and
abiotic stresses; however, our knowledge of the roles played by DSEs in improving the …

Root-associated microorganisms regulate plant growth and development, and their
distribution is likely influenced by habitat conditions. In this study, the responses of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonize the rhizosphere of plants and form a symbiotic
association with plants. Mycorrhizal symbionts have diversified ecological roles and …

In the current study, we explored the effects of dark septate endophytes (DSE)(
Neocamarosporium phragmitis, Alternaria chlamydospore, and Microascus alveolaris) on …

Aromatic and medicinal plants (AMP) have gained a strong position on the global market
due to their various biological activities and richness in secondary metabolites. However …
