Soil salinity is an emerging phenomenon threatening arid and semiarid areas due to changing climatic events. Salinity, in combination with other elemental contaminants, can often harm crop performance productivity. This experiment was conducted evaluate the mitigating effect of Claroideoglomus etunicatum, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF), on combined boron (B) toxicity salt stress symptoms maize plants. After AMF treatments, plants were subjected a wide range analyses, such as colonization rates, ion leakage, plant biomass, concentration B, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese root shoot tissues. The results showed that did not affect rate. inoculation significantly increased K+/Na+ ratio, copper concentrations, but reduced B concentrations leakage. slightly dry weight Mn contents shoots under stress, while electrolyte leakage leaves. It inferred ameliorate by improving biomass reducing Our research implies C. etunicatum could be valuable candidate for assisting remediation boron-contaminated saline soils.

Plants, seemingly solitary, engage in a fascinating dance of co-existence with diverse cast microbial and animal partners, playing vital role securing our future food supply While appearing self-sufficient, plants co-exist ensuring supply. This intricate community, the phytomicrobiome, harbors both microscopic macroscopic allies, each contributing significantly to plant health growth. review delves into these symbiotic relationships, exploring how microbes like nitrogen-fixing bacteria (e.g., Rhizobium sp.) mycorrhizal fungi enhance nutrient acquisition promote Furthermore, it highlights potential symbionts as biofertilizers, through focus on endophytes rhizosphere microorganisms offering sustainable alternative chemical fertilizers by enriching soil enhancing root systems. Beyond world, insects also play pivotal production, while successful reproduction, acting natural pest control, reducing reliance harmful insecticides. Understanding harnessing insect holds immense promise for agriculture. By fostering partnerships, we can healthy growth, minimize inputs, ensure secure generations come.
