AI Article Synopsis
- Single crystals of AMF (where A is Rb or Cs and M is Al or Ga) were grown using mixed alkali chloride/fluoride fluxes in sealed silver tubes.
- Cs-containing compounds (CsAlF and CsGaF) showed two different forms (polymorphs) at room temperature, while Rb-containing compounds (RbAlF and RbGaF) only exhibited one form each.
- High-temperature studies using TGA/DSC and SCXRD/PXRD revealed that all four compounds transitioned to the same cubic structure type when heated.
Article Abstract
Single crystals of AMF (A = Rb, Cs; M = Al, Ga) were grown from mixed alkali chloride/fluoride fluxes in sealed silver tubes. For CsAlF and CsGaF, two polymorphs were observed at room temperature: -CsMF and -CsMF. For the two Rb containing compositions, only one room temperature polymorph was observed: -RbAlF and -RbGaF, respectively. Simultaneous TGA/DSC and high temperature SCXRD/PXRD were used to study the high temperature behavior of AMF. The compounds of all four compositions were found to undergo structure transitions upon heating to the same cubic structure type, -AMF.

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.

Crop plants are severely affected by heavy metals (HMs), leading to food scarcity and economical loss. Lead (Pb) is outsourced by use of lead-based fertilizers, batteries, mining, smelting and metal processing. It significantly reduces growth, development and yield of crops cultivated on contaminated sites.

Plant partnerships with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) improve plant resilience to stress by increasing the plant's access to and uptake of essential nutrients and water, as well as regulating the plant's stress response. The magnitude and direction of AMF effects during the relationship depend on multiple factors including plant identity and environmental context. To investigate how AMF influence plant responses to environmental stresses, we assessed the effects of drought and salinity on growth, final biomass, and reproduction of nine alfalfa (Medicago sativa) cultivars inoculated with Rhizophagus irregularis or grown alone.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the most widespread plant symbionts associated with plant roots, and theyperform numerous functions that contribute to plants' health and physiology. However, there are many knowledge gaps in how the interactions between AMF and root mycobiomes influence the performance of the host plants. To this end, we inoculated a local chickpea cultivar grown in agricultural soil under semi-controlled conditions with Rhizophagus irregularis.

This study investigates the impact of neodymium (Nd) nanoparticle (NdNP) toxicity on the physiological and biochemical responses of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and oat (Avena sativa) plants and evaluates the potential mitigating effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Sorghum and oat plants were grown under controlled conditions with and without AMF inoculation, and subjected to NdNPs (500 mg Nd kg soil). Results revealed that Nd nanoparticles significantly reduced biomass in both species, with a 50% decrease in sorghum and a 59% decrease in oats.
