We examined the extent to which arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi root improved the
acquisition of simple organic nitrogen (ON) compounds by their host plants. In a greenhouse …

It is well established that ectomycorrhizal fungi can use amino acids as nitrogen and carbon
sources, but data on the kinetic properties of amino acid uptake systems of ectomycorrhizal …

In mycorrhizal associations, the fungal partner assists its plant host by providing nitrogen (N)
in addition to phosphate. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have access to inorganic and …

Ericoid mycorrhizas are believed to improve N nutrition of many ericaceous plant species
that typically occur in habitats with impoverished nutrient status, by releasing amino acids …

Nitrogen (N) is known to be transferred from fungus to plant in the arbuscular mycorrhizal
(AM) symbiosis, yet its metabolism, storage and transport are poorly understood.• In vitro …

Mycorrhizal plants from a variety of ecosystems have the capacity to take up organic forms of
nitrogen, yet the fraction of plant nitrogen demand met by organic N (ON) uptake remains …

Symbiotic association of roots with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is a very widespread
strategy by which plants facilitate their acquisition of mineral elements from the soil. Studies …

Nitrogen (N) is the most abundant mineral nutrient required by plants, and crop productivity
depends heavily on N fertilization in many soils. Production and application of N fertilizers …

Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) are the symbiotic fungi that predominate in the roots and soils
of agricultural crop plants. The most recognized beneficial effect of these fungi is to enhance …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can increase plant growth and nutrition. However, their
capacity to reduce the leaching of nutrients through the soil profile is less well understood …
