Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Associated with Rhizosphere of Tomato Grown in Arid and Semi-arid Regions of Indian Desert

This  study  provides  knowledge  on  the  diversity  and drivers  of  AMF  in  the  ecologically  stressed  ecosystem  of  arid and  semi-arid  regions  of  Indian  desert  and  reveals  promising findings  that  would  provide  baseline  information  for  a  better understanding  of  more  important  roles  that  AMF  plays  in enhancing  resource  allocation  and  increasing  tolerance  of tomato plant to the  various  environmental  stresses  prevalent in  this  agro-environment.  Findings  would  also  provide researchers with fundamental tools for delving into functional profile of AMF and its symbiotic importance with diverse crops in regions with related edapho-climatic conditions.
