Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can transfer nitrogen (N) to host plants, but the
ecological relevance is debated, as total plant N and biomass do not generally increase …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form mutualistic symbioses with c. two-
thirds of all land plants. Traditionally, it was thought that they played no role in nitrogen (N) …

Many studies have established that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi transfer N to the host plant.
However, the role and importance of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) in plant N nutrition is still …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can significantly contribute to plant nitrogen (N) uptake
from complex organic sources, most likely in concert with activity of soil saprotrophs and …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate biotrophs that acquire carbon (C) solely from
host plants. AM fungi can proliferate hyphae in, and acquire nitrogen (N) from, organic …

The role and importance of arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) in plant nitrogen (N) nutrition is
uncertain. We propose that this be clarified by using more integrative experimental designs …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is heavily and positively implicated in phosphorus
(P) acquisition from soil to plants, including many important agricultural crops. Its role in …

Recent research on arbuscular mycorrhizas has demonstrated that AM fungi play a
significant role in plant phosphorus (P) uptake, regardless of whether the plant responds …

Nitrogen (N) capture by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi from organic material is a recently
discovered phenomenon. This study investigated the ability of two Glomus species to …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form associations with plants and are ubiquitous in
grassland and agriculture ecosystems. AMF are known to contribute to plant nitrogen (N) …
