Harnessing the potential of symbiotic associations of plants in phosphate-deficient soil for sustainable agriculture.
Many plants associate with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi for nutrient acquisition, while most legumes also associate with nitrogen-fixing rhizobial bacteria for nitrogen acquisition. The association of plants with AM fungi and rhizobia depends on the perception of lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCOs) produced by these micro-symbionts. Recent studies reveal that cereals can perceive... -
