Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Nivien Allam Nafady"
- Nivien Allam Nafady's research primarily focuses on the interaction between soil microbes, particularly arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and their impact on plant tolerance to stress conditions, especially in alkaline soils relevant to dry and semi-arid regions.
- The findings demonstrate the potential of mycorrhizal symbiosis to enhance the growth of various crops, such as wheat and faba bean, while also mitigating heavy metal uptake in plants like maize, thereby improving overall plant health and productivity in adverse soil conditions.
- Additionally, Nafady's work includes investigating the biosorption capabilities of specific fungal isolates, such as Neopestalotiopsis clavispora, to remove contaminants like cadmium and zinc from aqueous environments, showcasing the dual benefits of ecological restoration and pollutant management.
