Ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) fungi are specifically symbiotic with plants in the family Ericaceae.
Little is known thus far about their symbiotic establishment and subsequent nitrogen (N) …

Nutrient transfer is a key feature of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis. Valuable
mineral nutrients are transferred from the AM fungus to the plant, increasing its fitness and …

As beneficial microorganisms in the soil, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and rhizobia
(Rh) form a mutualistic symbiosis with plant roots, while it is unclear whether AMF and Rh …

Understanding the impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) upon the nitrogen (N)
uptake of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) plants is crucial for effectively utilizing these …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi contribute to plant nutrient uptake in systems
managed with reduced fertilizer and pesticide inputs such as organic agriculture by …

A pioneering attempt to simultaneously introduce an ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungus,
Oidiodendron maius Barron, and two strains of a dark septate endophyte (DSE) …

Some soil fungi in the Leotiomycetes form ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) symbioses with
Ericaceae. In the harsh habitats in which they occur, ERM plant survival relies on nutrient …

To improve their nutrition, most plants associate with soil microorganisms, particularly fungi,
to form mycorrhizae. A few lineages, including actinorhizal plants and legumes are also able …

Forest trees rely on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi to obtain growth‐limiting nutrients. While
addition of nitrogen (N) has the potential to disrupt these critical relationships, there is …

Walnut trees are cultivated and exploited worldwide for commercial timber and nut
production. They are heterografted plants, with the rootstock selected to grow in different soil …
