“…It was not surprising to find that Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Poaceae comprised high proportions of alien species because they are among the biggest plant families worldwide [19][20][21]. What is more, the great economic value of these three families also facilitates their introduction and spread [22,23]. As Asteraceae contains common ornamental plants, about half of alien Asteraceae species (49.0%, Table S1) in China were introduced for their ornamental value.…”

Invasive species are a subset of naturalized species, and naturalized species are a subset of alien species. Determining the relationship among these three assemblages would be helpful in predicting and preventing biological invasion. Here, we reviewed the families, lifeforms, origins, introduction pathways and phylogenetic diversity of alien, naturalized and invasive vascular plants in China. The results show that species in the Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Poaceae families had a high dominance among alien, naturalized and invasive species. Moreover, almost all alien species in the Amaranthaceae, Solanaceae, Convolvulaceae and Euphorbiaceae families became naturalized species, and about 26.7% of the naturalized species became invasive species. Perennial herbs comprised a higher proportion of alien species than did annual herbs, though annual herbs were more suited to becoming invasive than perennial herbs. A considerable proportion (57.8%) of invasive species were introduced from America. More than half (56.5%) of alien species were introduced for their ornamental value, and half of these have become naturalized in China. Moreover, about half (55.2%) of all invasive species were introduced for their economic value (including ornamental, foraging and medicinal purposes). Invasive species were phylogenetically clustered and phylogenetically distant from alien and naturalized species, which indicates that phylogenetic differences could be helpful in becoming invasive. There is no doubt that human activity plays a significant role in biological invasion. This study suggests that when introducing alien species to a region, decision-makers should certainly consider the species’ phylogeny, beyond just its fundamental characteristics.

“…Kufri Pukhraj was selected for the experiment as it constitutes 33% of total potato farming in India with an area cover of 521,375 Ha (NHB, 2015; Haris et al, 2015 ). While reviewing other manuscripts, it is speculated that the application of microbes as biofertilizers can enhance the morpho- physiological attributes of Potato ( Owen et al, 2015 , Saini et al, 2020a ). It is also estimated that recommended doses of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers can be decreased so that the cost of purchasing fertilizers can also be reduced.…”

The belowground soil environment is an active space for microbes, particularly Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and P hosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) that can colonize with roots of higher plants. In the present experiment, we evaluated the combination of microbial inoculants with the different doses of urea and superphosphate in a complete randomized block design (CRBD). Three different doses of urea and superphosphate were tested, i.e., recommended dose, 75% of the recommended dose and 125% of the recommended dose, independently and in combination with three microbial groups viz . Glomus mosseae (AMF), Bacillus subtilis (PSB) and Nitrifying microorganisms ( Nitrosomonas + Nitrobacter , NN). Overall, there were 16 treatment combinations used, and studied the number of tubers per plant, the weight of tubers, moisture content, and the number of nodes per tubers which were best in treatment comprising of AMF + PSB + NN + 75% of urea + superphosphate. From our results, it is suggested for the growers to use a lesser quantity of fertilizers from the recommended dose along with some bioinoculants to maintain the soil fertility and also to achieve the yield targets by decreasing the cost of chemical fertilizers.

“…Moreover, sesame seeds have several health benefits in terms of antioxidant, hypocholesterolemic effects, anticancer and blood pressure reduction activities, emulsifying, and foaming properties ( Joshi et al, 2015 , Hwang et al, 2017 ). Seeing the medicinal properties of sesame, some medicinal plants which may have active pharmaceutical compounds and other secondary metabolites are also in demand ( Saini et al 2020a ). Thus, people are growing those plants in their home gardens, especially women in this way they are also conserving biodiversity ( Saini et al 2019a ).…”

Sesame ( Sesamum indicum L.) is an important staple crop of the family Pedaliaceae. The commercial production of sesame is still dependent on the applications of chemical fertilizers. Mycorrhiza inoculum resulted in better morphological and biochemical traits in vegetables. Thus, here the outcome of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Pseudomonas fluorescence (ATCC-17400) inoculation was studied in the pot culture experiment. Primarily, there seems to be a promising opportunity of AMF in sesame under pot and field trials because of enhanced morphological parameters, especially root weight, and disparities in nutrients and metabolites. The AMF appears to be an option to boost plant growth, mineral content, and sesame yield. The AMF treatment with Pseudomonas fluorescence strain (ATCC-17400) determined the maximum values for the morphological traits and mineral content. Overall, our study highlights mycorrhizal fungi and other microbes efficacy in achieving a successful sesame production.
