Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi as inspiration for sustainable technology

Abstract: The review actually wanted to deal with different sustainable technologies. The most of the part of MS  describes the mycorrhiza and the benefits of mycorrhizae but the last part was important 1.3 in which different techniques have been mentioned.

Comments:

The Ms is well written in English language and also very informative as well but if the authors narrate some crops with good and differential yields in the form of table, it would be more informative. The list of technologies based on like P recovery, enhancing P uptake in the form of table with small descriptions can be more useful. Overall, the MS is well documented for readers of this field.

Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The manuscript by Torres et al., reviewed knowledge about the syntrophic interactions of plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Such interaction is essential for nutrients uptake and growth of the plants/crops as well as phosphorus cycling in the environment. Overall, the review is clear regarding the knowledge introduction and summary. I have some small comments/suggestions as the followings:

Line 14. P (Phosphorus) should be defined.

Line 49 and 86. What are these 9 structures (line 49) and the 7 key structures (line 86)? These need to be clearly indicated in the text and figures 1, 2.

Figures 4, 5. What is the purpose of using the ball and stick model of the chemicals? What is the color code of the atoms (C, H, P…)? Same for Figure 8.

Line 147. The monohydrogen form should be “metal-HPO₄^2-”

Line 234. I don’t really see research opportunities in this section. Please clearly indicated what are the research questions? And what are the possible approaches/solutions to address these questions?  

Line 314. The conclusion is meaningless (basically repetitions from other parts). Please give a brief summary of what has already known regarding this research topic and what has not? And what are the future perspectives?
