Abstract Rhizosphere and root associated fungi, commonly known as plant growth promoting fungi (PGPF), facilitate the productivity of Cucumis sativus L. through formation mutualistic relationships with roots. These enhance nutrient uptake, promote development bolster stress tolerance via secretion regulating hormones. Despite numerous PGP fungal species have been isolated from rhizosphere C. sativus, their specific roles in modulating various parameters remain insufficiently defined. In present study, effect seven were evaluated such Penicillium chrysogenum, Paecilomyces variotii, Talaromyces purpureogenus, brunneolus, Aspergillus flavus, Trichoderma viride, atroviride on sativus. Our results revealed that all positively influenced as, length, shoot fresh dry biomass, leaf area, moisture content, flower number, area ratio, weight ratio chlorophyll albeit varying degrees efficiency. Notably, exhibited a more pronounced impact compared to other control. suggest these may contribute sustainable cultivation practices by enhancing crop yield reducing dependency chemical fertilizers pesticides.

The soil microbiome plays an important role in maintaining health, plant productivity, and ecosystem services. Current molecular-based studies have shed light on the fact that has been quantitatively underestimated. In addition to metagenomic studies, metaproteomics metatranscriptomic target functional part of are becoming more common. These for a better understanding deciphering plant-microbe interactions. Free-living beneficial bacteria promote growth by colonizing roots called growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs). They exert their effects different ways, either facilitating uptake nutrients synthesizing particular compounds plants or preventing protecting from diseases.
