Soilborne pathogens reduce 60% of the yield of onion crops. A common fungal pathogen causing wilt disease and severe losses is basal rot (FBR). In this study, the combination of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) with was investigated against FBR.

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.

The most common method for extracting AMF spores from soil is the wet-sieving technique (WST). However, this method has many disadvantages.

In this context, the current study investigated the effects of different cadmium (Cd) doses (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg L of CdSO) on the growth and physiological attributes of safflower ( L.) including plant height (cm), root length (cm), fresh weight (g) of root, stem, and leaves, leaf number, macro and micro-nutrients, Se, and heavy metal (Cd, Cr, and Pb) content.

- The major diseases affecting sugar beet globally are caused by the bacteria Pectobacterium betavasculorum and P. carotovorum, leading to significant control challenges due to limited chemical options available for treatment.
- A study evaluated 27 essential oils and 29 plant extracts for their antibacterial effects against Pectobacterium betavasculorum, finding that Pimpinella anisum L. oil had the highest antibacterial activity, followed by Thymus vulgaris L. oil and Rosa multiflora Thunb. extract.
- The study also tested the impact of these essential oils and extracts on the germination of sugar beet seeds, revealing that certain extracts and oils did not inhibit seed germination and could enhance seedling growth.
