Plants, mycorrhizal fungi and endobacteria: a dialog among cells and genomes

P Bonfante - The Biological Bulletin, 2003 - journals.uchicago.edu
This review focuses on mycorrhizas, which are associations between fungi and the roots of
90% of terrestrial plants. These are the most common symbioses in the world; they involve …

[HTML][HTML] Recent insights on biological and ecological aspects of ectomycorrhizal fungi and their interactions

A Mello, R Balestrini - Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 - frontiersin.org

terrestrial environments influencing soil structure and ecosystem functionality. Around them …

The mutualistic interaction between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

L Lanfranco, P Bonfante, A Genre - Microbiology spectrum, 2016 - Am Soc Microbiol
Mycorrhizal fungi belong to several taxa and develop mutualistic symbiotic associations with
over 90% of all plant species, from liverworts to angiosperms. While descriptive approaches …

Bacterial associations with mycorrhizal fungi: close and distant friends in the rhizosphere

S Perotto, P Bonfante - Trends in microbiology, 1997 - cell.com
Bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi in the rhizosphere interact with each other at different levels
of cellular integration, ranging from apparently simple association, through surface …

Systems biology and “omics” tools: a cooperation for next-generation mycorrhizal studies

A Salvioli, P Bonfante - Plant Science, 2013 - Elsevier
Omics tools constitute a powerful means of describing the complexity of plants and soil-
borne microorganisms. Next generation sequencing technologies, coupled with emerging …

Arbuscular mycorrhizas: the lives of beneficial fungi and their plant hosts

P Bonfante, A Desirò - Principles of plant-microbe interactions: microbes …, 2014 - Springer
When plants colonized the land 450 million years ago, they were already associated to soil
fungi, which assisted them in facilitating the uptake of mineral nutrients. This symbiotic …

Mycorrhizal symbiosis in plant growth and stress adaptation: from genes to ecosystems

J Shi, X Wang, E Wang - Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Plant roots associate with diverse microbes (including bacteria, fungi, archaea, protists, and
viruses) collectively called the root-associated microbiome. Among them, mycorrhizal fungi …

[HTML][HTML] Mycorrhizosphere communication: Mycorrhizal fungi and endophytic fungus-plant interactions

E Kothe, K Turnau - Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Plants do not exist as single entities but should rather be considered to form a complex
community with microbes and other organisms where plant tissues form diverse niches for …

Plants, mycorrhizal fungi, and bacteria: a network of interactions

P Bonfante, IA Anca - Annual review of microbiology, 2009 - annualreviews.org
This review focuses on interactions among plants, mycorrhizal fungi, and bacteria, testing
the hypothesis whether mycorrhizas can be defined as tripartite associations. After …

The ectomycorrhizal symbiosis: genetics and development

D Tagu, F Lapeyrie, F Martin - Plant and Soil, 2002 - Springer
