A Bacillaceae consortium positively impacts arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus colonisation, plant phosphate nutrition, and tuber yield in Solanum tuberosum cv. Jazzy
Résumé
In soils, phosphorus (P) is present in relatively large amounts, but for plants and microorganisms, P remains complexed under unavailable forms. To access the unavailable forms of P, plants interact with soil microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and phosphate degrading bacteria (PDB) that can act synergically to improve plant P nutrition. In practice, we aim to stimulate microorganism properties for phosphate degradation and transport to the plant in agricultural soils.
