Impact of mycorrhizal fungi on plant disease resistance
Rohan Patel and Bhargavi Thakur
Mycorrhizal fungi play a crucial role in enhancing plant health and resistance to diseases. This review explores the mechanisms by which mycorrhizal associations enhance plant disease resistance, summarizes findings from various studies on the impact of mycorrhizal fungi on different plant-pathogen interactions, and discusses the practical applications and future research directions in this field. The review highlights the potential of mycorrhizal fungi as a sustainable and eco-friendly strategy for disease management in agriculture.
