malpractices like excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides have aggravated the effects of …

Increasing the proportion of locally produced plant protein in currently meat-rich diets could
substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. However, plant …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form a symbiotic relationship with plants; a symbiotic
relationship is one in which both partners benefit from each other. Fungi benefit plants by …

Nitrogen is the major nutrient limiting plant growth in terrestrial ecosystems, and the
transformation of inert nitrogen to forms that can be assimilated by plants is mediated by soil …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis occurs between obligate biotrophic fungi of the
phylum Glomeromycota and most land plants. The exchange of nutrients between host …

Most plant species can form symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs), which may
enhance the host plant's acquisition of soil nutrients. In contrast to phosphorus nutrition, the …

A challenge for today's agriculture is to ensure food and nutritional security for the rapidly
growing global population. The global population is expected to reach 8.55 billion by 2030 …

Fertilization is an important practical measure in agricultural production. As an important
nutrient element of plants, nitrogen (N) has a significant impact on the plant productivity and …

Nitrogen (N) cycle is one of the most significant biogeochemical cycles driven by soil
microorganisms on the earth. Exogenous humic substances (HS), which include composted …
