“…AMF enhanced plant performance under salinity stress by improving soil characteristics, nutrient, and water availability, promoting root and shoot biomass development, and enhancing the plant's antioxidant enzyme system (Abd-Alla et al, 2019). Additionally, AMF stimulated the synthesis and accumulation of compatible organic osmolytes, such as proline, to maintain cellular osmotic balance when exposed to external salt stress (Garg & Baher, 2013;Pooja et al, 2024).…”

“…Moreover, the interplay of phytohormones induced by AMF, such as strigolactones, abscisic acid, gibberellic acid, salicylic acid, and jasmonic acid, was also associated with the salt tolerance mechanism in plants. These intricate interactions collectively contributed to the overall salinity tolerance of mycorrhizal plants, underscoring the pivotal role of AMF in mitigating the adverse effect of salts (Pooja et al, 2024). Salinity stress usually prevents rhizobium colonization and nodule formation, which reduces the N fixation process in chickpea .…”

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are beneficial root symbionts that form mutual partnerships with approximately 90% of plants. They provide water, nutrients, and protection from stresses while receiving photosynthetic products from the host plants. These fungi are essential components of the soil ecosystem, and their absence or decline can negatively impact ecosystem efficiency. In chickpea cultivation, the interaction between AMF and rhizobium is vital for soil processes and plant productivity. Alongside other beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere, they enhance the acquisition of essential nutrients like nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), promoting chickpea growth and development. These interactions are particularly crucial in low‐input, eco‐friendly agricultural systems that rely on biological processes to sustain soil quality and productivity without heavy use of agrochemicals. The combination of root nodules' N‐fixation and AMF synergism also improves plant P nutrition and stimulates the proliferation of phosphate‐solubilizing fungi. However, genetic diversity among native strains and their genes/enzymes can influence the interactions between AMF and rhizobium. To achieve sustainable chickpea production, it is crucial to gain a deeper understanding of these interactions, allowing optimized combinations of microorganisms to be used as effective soil inoculants for promoting plant growth and fitness. This review aims to provide insights into the mechanistic interactions of AMF and rhizobium, their impact on rhizosphere soil health, and the role of environmental factors in regulating chickpea productivity and sustainability.
