Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can confer protection to host plants against some root
pathogens, and several mechanisms for these phenomena have been proposed. If AM …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi colonize roots of terrestrial plants and have been
hypothesized to reduce susceptibility or to improve the vigor of hosts challenged by root …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi represent ubiquitous mutualists of terrestrial plants.
Through the symbiosis, plant hosts, among other benefits, receive protection from …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are mutualistic symbiotic associations between 150
species of fungi and the roots of approximately 300 000 species of plants. As a result of this …

The symbiotic interaction between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is often
perceived as beneficial for both partners, though a large ecological literature highlights the …

Plant roots in natural ecosystems are typically colonized by a wide range of fungi. Some of
these are pathogenic, others appear to be opportunistic and have no apparent impact, while …

Although arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate symbionts that can influence plant
growth, the magnitude and direction of these effects are highly variable within fungal genera …

The benefits of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis between plants and fungi are
modulated by the functional characteristics of both partners. However, it is unknown to what …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are mainly thought to facilitate phosphorus uptake in
plants, but they can also perform several other functions that are equally beneficial. Our …

Biological control of plant pathogens is currently accepted as a key practice in sustainable
agriculture because it is based on the management of a natural resource, ie certain …
