“…The present study demonstrated that the ECM mycobionts could utilize a broad spectrum of C and N sources for growth in pure culture. This capability to exploit specific simple sugars as C sources, independent of their host plants, point to their facultative symbiotic nature 39 . The basic MMN medium (containing glucose and di-ammonium hydrogen orthophosphate as C and N sources respectively) was the most preferred medium that resulted in the optimum mycelial growth of these fungal symbionts.…”

Over the past few decades, many countries have attempted to carry out forest landscape restoration over millions of hectares of degraded land. Such efforts, however, have met with limited success because of several factors, including a lack of adequate emphasis on ectomycorrhization of the nursery seedlings. A similar scenario is seen in the Kashmir Himalaya, where the natural regeneration of degraded forests is poor despite ample restoration efforts by forest managers. To overcome this challenge, we identified two promising ectomycorrhizal species, namely Clitocybe nuda and Cortinarius distans, for their use in ectomycorrhization of seedlings of three common conifers, namely Abies pindrow, Cedrus deodara, and Picea smithiana. Laboratory studies were carried out to investigate the requirements for optimum mycelial growth of these ectomycorrhizal fungi. Best ECM mycelial growth was obtained in the basic MMN medium containing glucose as the source of carbon and nitrogen in ammonium form. C. distans showed higher growth than C. nuda across all the treatments and also proved significantly more effective in enhancing the survival and growth of the conifer host plant seedlings. The present study resulted in standardizing the requirements for mass inoculum production of the two mycobionts which could help in successful forest restoration programmes.

“…From the research on the native microbiome, the use of commercially available PGPMs in agricultural ecosystems is adopted mainly because of their compatibility and complementarity with some natural processes concerning the nutrient cycle, the defense of plants from pathogens and parasites, and other related biological processes [273]. The applications of PGPMs in the agro-ecosystem are reported to be mainly positive, bringing partial or total benefits to the entire ecosystem.…”

“…Different types of relationships are known, some already mentioned in the previous paragraphs of this review. Mutualistic interactions involve the plant providing shelter and/or nutrients for the microbes while, in turn, the microbes promote plant growth and provide biological control against potential pathogens and predators using various strategies [273]. The interactions between plants and microorganisms, as well as between the microorganisms themselves, are complex, and therefore, it is necessary to evaluate whether to apply a single strain or a microbial consortium.…”

The indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has caused considerable environmental damage over the years. However, the growing demand for food in the coming years and decades requires the use of increasingly productive and efficient agriculture. Several studies carried out in recent years have shown how the application of plant growth-promoting microbes (PGPMs) can be a valid substitute for chemical industry products and represent a valid eco-friendly alternative. However, because of the complexity of interactions created with the numerous biotic and abiotic factors (i.e., environment, soil, interactions between microorganisms, etc.), the different formulates often show variable effects. In this review, we analyze the main factors that influence the effectiveness of PGPM applications and some of the applications that make them a useful tool for agroecological transition.

“…Plant-microbe interactions are historically linked to improved plant growth and health. Several studies have, therefore, focused on rhizobacteria to determine their contribution toward improved nutrient acquisition, enhanced water retention, alleviation of abiotic stress, exclusion of plant pathogens, and ecofriendliness ( 1 ). Toward this end, the three rhizobacterial strains were recovered from maize-associated rhizosphere soil samples collected from Sheepmoor Village, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa.…”
