Plants, the cornerstone of life on Earth, are constantly struggling with a number of challenges arising from both biotic and abiotic stressors. To overcome these adverse factors, plants have evolved complex defense mechanisms involving both a number of cell signaling pathways and a complex network of interactions with microorganisms. Among these interactions, the relationship between symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and strigolactones (SLs) stands as an important interplay that has a significant impact on increased resistance to environmental stresses and improved nutrient uptake and the subsequent enhanced plant growth. AMF establishes mutualistic partnerships with plants by colonizing root systems, and offers a range of benefits, such as increased nutrient absorption, improved water uptake and increased resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. SLs play a fundamental role in shaping root architecture, promoting the growth of lateral roots and regulating plant defense responses. AMF can promote the production and release of SLs by plants, which in turn promote symbiotic interactions due to their role as signaling molecules with the ability to attract beneficial microbes. The complete knowledge of this synergy has the potential to develop applications to optimize agricultural practices, improve nutrient use efficiency and ultimately increase crop yields. This review explores the roles played by AMF and SLs in plant development and stress tolerance, highlighting their individual contributions and the synergistic nature of their interaction.

“…Through their symbiotic associations with the roots of most crop species, AMF create mycorrhizal networks that offer multiple benefits to plants facing salinity challenges [18]. One essential advantage is the improved nutrient uptake facilitated by the extensive hyphal network, allowing plants to access vital nutrients like phosphorus despite salinity [19,20]. Furthermore, AMF aid in maintaining osmotic balance within plant cells, preventing excessive water loss and promoting water absorption from the soil [21].…”

Salinity stress adversely affects agricultural productivity by disrupting water uptake, causing nutrient imbalances, and leading to ion toxicity. Excessive salts in the soil hinder crops root growth and damage cellular functions, reducing photosynthetic capacity and inducing oxidative stress. Stomatal closure further limits carbon dioxide uptake that negatively impact plant growth. To ensure sustainable agriculture in salt-affected regions, it is essential to implement strategies like using biofertilizers (e.g. arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi = AMF) and activated carbon biochar. Both amendments can potentially mitigate the salinity stress by regulating antioxidants, gas exchange attributes and chlorophyll contents. The current study aims to explore the effect of EDTA-chelated biochar (ECB) with and without AMF on maize growth under salinity stress. Five levels of ECB (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8%) were applied, with and without AMF. Results showed that 0.8ECB + AMF caused significant enhancement in shoot length (~ 22%), shoot fresh weight (~ 15%), shoot dry weight (~ 51%), root length (~ 46%), root fresh weight (~ 26%), root dry weight (~ 27%) over the control (NoAMF + 0ECB). A significant enhancement in chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance was also observed in the condition 0.8ECB + AMF relative to control (NoAMF + 0ECB), further supporting the efficacy of such a combined treatment. Our results suggest that adding 0.8% ECB in soil with AMF inoculation on maize seeds can enhance maize production in saline soils, possibly via improvement in antioxidant activity, chlorophyll contents, gas exchange and morphological attributes.

The effects of cobalt contamination on maize plant growth and the potential benefits of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and biochar (B) as low-cost amendments for improving plant growth in metal-polluted soils were investigated in a pot experiment. The experiment evaluated the impact of Rhizophagous intraradices and biochar on maize plants grown under different cobalt concentrations (0, 60, and 120 ppm). A wide range of physiological parameters, including plant height, number of leaves, root and shoot fresh and dry weight, relative water content, electrolyte leakage, chlorophyll and carotenoid content, oxidative stress, cobalt distribution, and nutrient content, were analyzed. The results revealed that cobalt contamination had a negative impact on plant growth, reducing chlorophyll and carotenoid content, increasing oxidative stress, and elevating cobalt accumulation in the shoot while also decreasing nutrient content. However, Rhizophagous intraradices inoculation and biochar application were shown to be effective in reducing cobalt uptake in aerial parts, improving nutrient content, and reducing oxidative stress. This study highlights the potential of AMF and biochar as cost-effective amendments for improving maize growth and mitigating cobalt toxicity in contaminated soils.
