      Symbiosis in Maize Plants.

AB  - Increasing high temperature (HT) has a deleterious effect on plant growth. 
      Earlier works reported the protective role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) 
      under stress conditions, particularly influencing the physiological parameters. 
      However, the protective role of AMF under high-temperature stress examining 
      physiological parameters with characteristic phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) of 
      soil microbial communities including AMF has not been studied. This work aims to 
      study how high-temperature stress affects photosynthetic and below-ground traits 
      in maize plants with and without AMF. Photosynthetic parameters like quantum 
      yield of photosystem (PS) II, PSI, electron transport, and fractions of open 
      reaction centers decreased in HT exposed plants, but recovered in AMF + HT 
      plants. AMF + HT plants had significantly higher AM-signature 16:1omega5cis neutral 
      lipid fatty acid (NLFA), spore density in soil, and root colonization with lower 
      lipid peroxidation than non-mycorrhizal HT plants. As a result, enriched plants 
      had more active living biomass, which improved photosynthetic efficiency when 
      exposed to heat. This study provides an understanding of how AM-mediated plants 
      can tolerate high temperatures while maintaining the stability of their 
      photosynthetic apparatus. This is the first study to combine above- and 
      below-ground traits, which could lead to a new understanding of plant and 
      rhizosphere stress.
