“…Additionally, the study also revealed that the introduction of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi resulted in a more resilient plant canopy. The augmented root growth facilitated more efficient water and nutrient absorption, resulting in enhanced shoot growth and overall plant vigor [22]. This finding holds considerable significance for the commercial cultivation of gardenia, as it indicates that the inclusion of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in cultivation practices can bolster both crop yield and quality.…”

“…This finding holds significant importance within the realm of commercial gardenia cultivation, where a commonly utilized substrate consists of highpeat composition (95:5). One of the main advantages identified in this study was the formation of a comprehensive network of roots in gardenia plants [22]. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi played a critical role in facilitating root growth and branching, thereby optimizing nutrient uptake and overall plant robustness.…”

“…This finding holds considerable significance for the commercial cultivation of gardenia, as it indicates that the inclusion of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in cultivation practices can bolster both crop yield and quality. In conclusion, [22]'s study emphasizes the beneficial effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on gardenia plants when phosphate fertilization is reduced. The use of these beneficial fungi has been observed to result in the promotion of extensive root systems and enhanced plant canopy robustness, particularly in high-peat substrates typically employed in commercial gardenia cultivation.…”

The demand for AMF propagules has experienced a surge as a result of their capability to amplify growth and nutrient uptake. This demand has triggered the adoption of contemporary propagule cultivation techniques, as conventional AMF propagation methods often involve extensive labor and time requirements, creating difficulties for large-scale production. The adoption of bioreactors, for example, has become one of the most promising approaches for the substantial cultivation of AMF propagules. Bioreactors offer a promising approach for the large-scale production of AMF propagules, which boost nutrient absorption and plant development. They provide superior yield, cost-effectiveness, and scalability in contrast to conventional methods. Synthetic substrates also provide a regulated environment that enhances optimal growth and development. They can be adjusted to satisfy specific nutrient specifications and promote consistent spore production. Synthetic substrates enable researchers to manipulate concentration and timing, thereby increasing spore yields and preserving non-destructive yield. This approach enables the iterative extraction of spores from the same batch. The prioritization of nutrient composition optimization in bioreactors is crucial for supporting AMF propagule growth and reproduction in future research. For instance, understanding AMF's distinct nutrient requirements can lead to media that is nutrient-rich, increased yields of propagules, and improved interactions with plants. Furthermore, developments in synthetic substrate technology can produce substrates that replicate natural soil environments. This study focused on innovative materials and additives can amplify substrate fertility and stability. Likewise, the careful concentration and timing of application when optimizing growth regulators can have a substantial impact on the production of AMF spores. These advancements can contribute to the sustainable production of AMF propagules, thereby offering advantages to agriculture and ecological restoration initiatives.

“…On gardenia ( Gardenia jasminoides J. Ellis), a calcifuge woody plant, the effects on the growth of two strains of Rhizophagus irregularis (AMF) were analysed to evaluate the possibility to reduce phosphate fertilization. Under reduced phosphate fertilization, inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi favoured the growth of gardenia plants, especially in the high-peat substrate [ 125 ].…”

The native flora of different Mediterranean countries, often woody species, was widely recognized for its ornamental potential. The shrubs, in particular, are a typology of plants very widespread in the Mediterranean environment and constituent the ‘Macchia’, the typical vegetation of this ecosystem. The use of native shrubs for the realization of ornamental green areas has been recently examined for their adaptability to abiotic stress. Abiotic stresses, in fact, are the major limiting growth factor in urban and peri-urban areas. The identification and use of tolerant ornamental species allow the reduction of management costs and preserve the aesthetical value of green areas. Tolerance to drought stress, for instance, in the Mediterranean climate can improve the ecosystem services of these plants in the urban environment. In this review, the possibility to early individuate different plant species’ mechanisms to tolerate or avoid the stresses is analysed, as well as the possibility to increase abiotic stress tolerance through genetic and agronomic strategies. The exploration of wild or spontaneous species can be a good source for selecting tolerant plants to be used as ornamental plants in urban areas. Among agronomic strategies, biostimulants, mulching, and plant combination can provide a useful solution to counteract abiotic stress in the urban environment.
