Strategies to enhance the production of secondary metabolites, derived from medicinal and agriculturally important plants have been the subject of exploration to enable effective utilization of these biorepositories. Through symbiosis, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), modify plant primary and sec...
