| VEGETABLES have been a part of human meals due to the health benefits associated with their consumption and the presence of beneficial compounds. However, vegetable production encounters a wide range of environmental stresses, such as heat and drought, that hamper their productivity. With the frequent climate change events across agricultural farmland in the world, the problems associated with the emergence of heat and drought are expected to persist and worsen as time ticks, consequently resulting in yield loss. To abate these problems, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are essential in enhancing plant nutrient intake, plant growth, increased photosynthesis rate, and reduced oxidative stress under abiotic stress. It inhibits the downregulation of important metabolic pathways and helps host plants up-regulate tolerance mechanisms. Being naturally occurring root symbionts, AMF gives host plants vital inorganic nutrients, enhancing growth and yield in both stressed and unstressed conditions. The current review gives information on the role of AMF under abiotic stress conditions. © 2024 National Information and Documentation Center (NIDOC). |
