Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition leads to a dramatically increase in biologically available N in many ecosystems, which can change the symbiotic relationship between AMF and host plants. However, how and to what extent exogenous N-induced AMF could affect plants remains poorly understood. In this work, mycorrhizal growth responses of Sorghum bicolor to AMF under simulated N deposition were conducted in a glasshouse experiment. Results demonstrated that AMF elevated the growth performance and nutrient uptake (N, P) of S. bicolor at almost all treatments, although mycorrhizal colonization decreased with N addition. In addition, mycorrhizal response (MR) showed identical trend of first fall and then increase, and the lowest value was at the N1 treatment. The present study provided the first pot-based evidence that AMF can alleviate the mischief induced by high N addition, implying that AMF has a considerable significance in the farmland ecosystem under anthropogenic N deposition.

<p>Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play many important roles in terrestrial ecosystems. The effects of increasing nitrogen (N) deposition on AM fungi will inevitably affect many important ecosystem processes. However, our quantitative understanding on the generalizable patterns of how N deposition affects AM fungi at the global scale remains unclear.</p><p>We conducted a meta-analysis of 431 observations from 111 publications to investigate the responses of AM fungi to N addition, including abundance, richness and diversity, and explored the mechanisms of N addition affecting AM fungi by trait-based guilds method.</p><p>Results showed that N addition had strong negative effects on AM fungal abundance and richness, and different AM fungal guilds showed different responses to N addition: the rhizophilic guild significantly decreased under N addition, while the edaphophilic guild increased (but with much variability) under N addition. Further analysis showed that N addition affects AM fungi mainly by causing soil acidification and increasing soil available N. Specifically, soil acidification had a negative effect on both the rhizophilic and edaphophilic AM fungi and increased soil available N mainly negatively affect the edaphophilic AM fungi. Moreover, the response of AM fungi to N addition was also affected by the shifts in plant carbon (C) allocation caused by soil phosphorus (P) availability.</p><p>This synthesis highlights that trait-based AM fungal guilds as well as taking soil P and C from host plants into consideration can improve our understanding of dynamics of AM fungal communities under increasing N deposition. This would further enable better predictions of the functional consequences of changes in AM fungal communities such as impacts on soil organic C dynamics, plant P uptake and plant diversity.</p>

Mycorrhizal Plants

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate symbionts of higher plants which increase the growth and nutrient uptake of host plants. The primary objective was initiated based on analyzing the enormity of optimal effects upon AMF inoculation in a comparative bias between mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants stipulated on plant biomass and nutrient uptake. Consequently, in accomplishing the above-mentioned objective a vast literature was collected, analyzed, and evaluated to establish a weighted meta-analysis irrespective of AMF species, plant species, family and functional group, and experimental conditions in the context of beneficial effects of AMF. I found a significant increase in the shoot, root, and total biomass by 36.3%, 28.5%, and, 29.7%, respectively. Moreover, mycorrhizal plants significantly increased phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium uptake by 36.3%, 22.1%, and 18.5%, respectively. Affirmatively upon cross-verification studies, plant growth parameters intensification was accredited to AMF (Rhizophagus fasciculatus followed by Funniliforme mosseae), plants (Triticum aestivum followed by Solanum lycopersicum), and plant functional groups (dicot, herbs, and perennial) were the additional vital important significant predictor variables of plant growth responses. Therefore, the meta-analysis concluded that the emancipated prominent root characteristics, increased morphological traits that eventually help the host plants for efficient phosphorus uptake, thereby enhancing plant biomass. The present analysis can be rationalized for any plant stress and assessment of any microbial agent that contributes to plant growth promotion.

Background: Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are an alternative for sustainable management of pepper crops. Objective: To investigate the beneficial effects of PGPR and AMF inoculation on the growth of bell pepper plants. Methods: Two PGPR strains were used (Pseudomonas tolaasii P61 and Bacillus pumilus R44) as well as their mixture, and an uninoculated control. In addition, bacterial treatments were combined with an AMF-consortium (Funneliformis aff. geosporum and Claroideoglomus sp.). A 4×2 factorial experiment [four levels for the bacterial inoculation and two levels of AMF-inoculation (non-AMF and AMF)] was performed with eight treatments, at greenhouse conditions for 80 days after inoculation. AMF inoculation was done at sowing and PGPR after 15 days of seedling emergence. Results and Conclusions: Uninoculated control showed lower growth responses than plants inoculated with PGPR and AMF, alone or in combination. Overall, inoculation of the strain P61 or the combination of R44+AMF increased plant growth. AMF improved the photochemical efficiency of PSII in comparison to either control plants or plants inoculated with R44 or with the bacterial mix. Both PGPR and AMF improved growth and vigor of bell pepper plants.
