Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiotic relationships with the roots of nearly all land-dwelling plants, increasing growth and productivity, especially during abiotic stress. AMF improves plant development by improving nutrient acquisition, such as phosphorus, water, mineral uptake. tolerance resilience to stressors drought, salt, heavy metal toxicity. These benefits come from arbuscular interface, which lets fungal partners exchange nutrients, signalling molecules, protective chemical compounds. Plants' antioxidant defence systems, osmotic adjustment, hormone regulation are also affected infestation. responses promote performance, photosynthetic efficiency, biomass production in stress conditions. As a result its positive effects on soil structure, cycling, carbon sequestration, contributes maintenance resilient ecosystems. The AMFs ecological stability species- environment-specific. AMF's growth-regulating, productivity-enhancing role alleviation under is reviewed. More research needed understand molecular mechanisms that drive AMF-plant interactions their stresses. triggers plants' morphological, physiological, Water development, improved symbiosis.
