“…This highlighted the possibility of enhancing K + acquisition through AMF and chickpea symbiosis. K + derived from AM symbiosis has been associated to improved chickpea plant's tolerance to abiotic stresses such as salinity and drought (Abd-Alla et al, 2019;Chandra et al, 2023;Garg & Bhandari, 2016).…”

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are beneficial root symbionts that form mutual partnerships with approximately 90% of plants. They provide water, nutrients, and protection from stresses while receiving photosynthetic products from the host plants. These fungi are essential components of the soil ecosystem, and their absence or decline can negatively impact ecosystem efficiency. In chickpea cultivation, the interaction between AMF and rhizobium is vital for soil processes and plant productivity. Alongside other beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere, they enhance the acquisition of essential nutrients like nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), promoting chickpea growth and development. These interactions are particularly crucial in low‐input, eco‐friendly agricultural systems that rely on biological processes to sustain soil quality and productivity without heavy use of agrochemicals. The combination of root nodules' N‐fixation and AMF synergism also improves plant P nutrition and stimulates the proliferation of phosphate‐solubilizing fungi. However, genetic diversity among native strains and their genes/enzymes can influence the interactions between AMF and rhizobium. To achieve sustainable chickpea production, it is crucial to gain a deeper understanding of these interactions, allowing optimized combinations of microorganisms to be used as effective soil inoculants for promoting plant growth and fitness. This review aims to provide insights into the mechanistic interactions of AMF and rhizobium, their impact on rhizosphere soil health, and the role of environmental factors in regulating chickpea productivity and sustainability.

Priming modulates plant stress responses before the stress appears, increasing the ability of the primed plant to endure adverse conditions and thrive. In this context, we investigated the effect of biological (i.e., arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, AMF) agents and natural compounds (i.e., salicylic acid applied alone or combined with chitosan) against water deficit and salinity on a commercial tomato genotype (cv. Moneymaker). Effects of seed treatments on AMF colonization were evaluated, demonstrating the possibility of using them in combination. Responses to water and salt stresses were analysed on primed plants alone or in combination with the AMF inoculum in soil. Trials were conducted on potted plants by subjecting them to water deficit or salt stress. The effectiveness of chemical seed treatments, both alone and in combination with post-germination AM fungal inoculation, was investigated using a multidisciplinary approach that included eco-physiology, biochemistry, transcriptomics, and untargeted metabolomics. Results showed that chemical seed treatment and AM symbiosis modified the tomato response to water deficit and salinity triggering a remodelling of both transcriptome and metabolome, which ultimately elicited the plant antioxidant and osmoprotective machinery. The plant physiological adaptation to both stress conditions improved, confirming the success of the adopted approaches in enhancing stress tolerance.

Combined treatments are a successful way to overcome salinity damage in an environmentally safe and cost-effective method. So this experiment aimed to study the individual and combined effects of a seaweed extract of Cystoseira compressa (SWE) and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (VA-M) on the growth and yield of Triticum aestivum L. cultivar (ACSAD 1398), under salinity conditions. In general, the study showed a significant decrease in morphological and biochemical parameters of the wheat under salinity levels. On the contrary, the results showed that all treatments significantly increased shoot and root length, number of leaves /plant, leaf area, seedling length, fresh and dry weight seedlings, spike length, fresh and dry weight spike, chlorophyll (a b), carotenoids, total pigments, Ca, Mg, P, K, Cu, N, crude protein, and total soluble sugars. As caused a decrease in proline content. The findings revealed that the (SWE+VA-M) combined treatment was superior to the foliar individual application of (SWE), and (VA-M) individual inoculation.
