Abstract

Symbiotic association of rhizobium with legumes plays a key role in biological nitrogen fixation while the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) association with high plants can increase the availability of poorly mobile nutrients such as phosphorous. In legumes both the symbiots can inhabit and synergistically affect each other in various stress conditions such as drought and mineral deficiency. Understanding the impact of tripartite interaction between AM and rhizobacteria under different abiotic stress can be a powerful strategy to improve the soil condition and plant yield in sustainable way.
