Cadmium (Cd) pollution in croplands is a global environmental problem. Measures to improve the tolerance of sensitive crops and reduce pollutant absorption and accumulation are needed in contaminated agricultural areas, and inoculation with rhizosphere microorganisms to regulate plant resistance and heavy metal transport can provide an effective solution. A pot experiment was conducted to analyse the impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on alfalfa oxidase activity, heavy metal resistance genes and transport proteins, metabolism, and other biochemical regulation mechanisms that lead to complexation, compartmentalisation, efflux, enrichment, and antioxidant detoxification pathways. The AMF reduced shoot and protoplasm Cd inflow, and promoted organic compound production (e.g., by upregulating HM-Res4 for 1.2 times), to complex with Cd, reducing its biological toxicity. The AMF increased the ROS scavenging efficiency and osmotic regulatory substance content of the alfalfa plants, reduced oxidative stress (ROS dereased), and maintained homeostasis. It also alleviated Cd inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport, tricarboxylic acid circulation, and nitrogen assimilation. These AMF effects improved leaf and root biomass by 43.87% and 59.71% and facilitated recovery of a conservative root economic strategy. It is speculated that AMF induces the resistance signal switch by regulating the negative feedback regulation mode of indole acetic acid upward transport and methyl jasmonate downward transmission in plants.

, one of the world's most destructive invasive species, is known for causing significant ecological and economic harm. While extensive research has focused on its growth characteristics, secondary metabolites, and control measures, its chemical interactions with the environment-particularly the role of flavonoids in shaping soil microbial communities-remain underexplored. In this study, we identified and quantified ten flavonoids from root exudates using UPLC-MS, including Hispidulin, Isorhamnetin, and Mikanin.

Intercropping has the potential to improve phosphorus (P) uptake and crop growth, but the potential benefits and relative contributions of root morphology and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonization are largely unknown for the intercropping of rice and soybean under dry cultivation. Both field and pot experiments were conducted with dry-cultivated rice ( L.) and soybean ( L.

As an extension of plant root system, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) extraradical mycelium (ERM) can break the limitation of rhizosphere and play an important role in plant nutrient acquisition. However, it remains unclear whether ERM is smart enough to pick out nutrients while avoiding poison, or is unable to pick out nutrients and have to absorb poisons together. Therefore, the present study employed a compartment device to separate the mycelia from roots, aiming to explore the nutrient absorption pathways of mycelia in molybdenum (Mo) pollution soil after inoculation with AMF in maize and vetch plants.

However, increasing human land use represents a major threat to native AMF globally. Characterizing the loss of AMF diversity remains challenging because many taxa are undescribed, resulting in poor documentation of their biogeography and family-level disturbance sensitivity.

Symbiosis between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plants plays a crucial role in nutrient acquisition and stress resistance for terrestrial plants. microRNAs have been reported to participate in the regulation of mycorrhizal symbiosis by controlling the expression of their target genes. Herein, we found that sly-miR408b was significantly downregulated in response to mycorrhizal colonisation.
