TL;DR: New isolates of Penicillium fungi with high mineral phosphate solubilizing activity are identified, being investigated for the ability to increase crop production on strong P-retaining soils in Australia.

TL;DR: Successful adoption of microbial inoculants requires a thorough understanding of their rhizosphere ecology, genetic stability, and the mechanisms associated with enhancing P availability in soils and plant-growth promotion to provide a better understanding of which inoculant to use under particular agro-ecological conditions for increased efficacy and consistent performance.

TL;DR: The effects of crop residue quantity and quality (origin) on soil Fusarium communities are shown to be primarily affected by plant residue inputs, indicating its importance for integrated management of FUSarium in production systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of soil physicochemical and biotic factors on PGP of wheat by P. radicum was investigated, and it was shown that removal of biological factor(s) increased (P < 0.05) increase plant growth in 4 of the 10 soils tested.

TL;DR: Analysis of changes in transcript profiling of T. afroharzianum strain LTR-2 and T. gamsii strain Tk7a during in vitro interactions with plant pathogenic Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium irregulare confirmed differential gene expression.
