Role of Mycorrhizal Fungi in Enhancing Plant Resistance to Drought Stress in Sudan

· 0 citations · 12 references

TL;DR

The study found that fungi, particularly arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, extend their hyphae beyond the root zone, significantly increasing the effective root surface area for water and nutrient absorption, which is critical under drought conditions.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi as Nature-Based Solutions to Improve Drought Adaptation in Maize

In the face of climate change, drought stress represents a critical challenge to the sustainability of maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation. This study explored the potential of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) to enhance maize tolerance to drought. The experiment was conducted in a glass greenhouse of the Soil Fertilizer...

Silicon and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi improve water-use efficiency and drought tolerance in sweet corn

Maize is a crop that plays a fundamental role in global food security, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. However, drought stress remains one of the major constraints that limit maize production worldwide. Maize sensitivity to water deficit is especially critical during the flowering stage, often resulti...

Beyond nutrient concentration: A call for uptake in mycorrhizal research under drought

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a critical role in enhancing plant growth and drought resistance by facilitating nutrient (particularly nitrogen [N] and phosphorus [P]) acquisition. However, a widespread methodological issue persists in mycorrhizal research under drought as most studies assess the contr...

Effects of ectomycorrhizal fungi on the physiological and ecological characteristics of Larix gmelinii under salt stress

It is demonstrated that ECMF enhance salt tolerance in L. gmelinii through coordinated regulation of photosynthesis, antioxidant defense, osmotic adjustment, and ion homeostasis, providing a theoretical basis for the application of ECMF in saline-alkali land afforestation.
