therapeutic action: improved plant growth

A review on microbe–mineral transformations and their impact on plant growth

mycolabadmin

Soil microorganisms are crucial partners that help plants access nutrients locked in soil minerals. Bacteria and fungi produce special acids and molecules that dissolve minerals, making nutrients like phosphorus, iron, and zinc available for plant roots to absorb. This natural process reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and helps plants grow stronger while cleaning up contaminated soils.

Paraboremia selaginellae enhances Salvia miltiorrhiza growth and cadmium tolerance via modulating root architecture and cadmium speciation in contaminated environments

mycolabadmin

A beneficial fungus called Paraboremia selaginellae was found to help medicinal plants grow better in soil contaminated with cadmium, a toxic heavy metal. When this fungus colonizes plant roots, it reduces how much cadmium the plant absorbs and improves the soil’s nutrient content. This natural approach offers a promising solution for growing medicinal plants safely in polluted soils without expensive chemical treatments.

Halotolerant Endophytic Fungi: Diversity, Host Plants, and Mechanisms in Plant Salt–Alkali Stress Alleviation

mycolabadmin

Salty and alkaline soil is destroying farmland worldwide, but special fungi living inside plants can help crops survive these harsh conditions. These fungi work like a team with plants, producing protective substances and helping plants manage salt and reduce damage from stress. Scientists reviewed 150 studies and found these fungi boost crop yields by 15-40%, offering a natural way to farm on degraded land without more chemicals.

Bacillus subtilis ED24 Controls Fusarium culmorum in Wheat Through Bioactive Metabolite Secretion and Modulation of Rhizosphere Microbiome

mycolabadmin

A beneficial bacteria called Bacillus subtilis ED24 was found to effectively protect wheat plants from a destructive fungal disease called Fusarium culmorum. When applied to wheat seeds, this bacteria improved seed germination and plant growth better than a commercial chemical fungicide, while also promoting helpful microorganisms in the soil around the plant roots. The bacteria works by producing special chemical compounds that kill the harmful fungus and by enriching the soil microbiome with beneficial organisms.
