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) …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Nitrogen is a major nutrient that frequently limits primary productivity in terrestrial
ecosystems. Therefore, the physiological responses of plants to soil nitrogen (N) availability …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play an essential role for the nutrient uptake of the
majority of land plants, including many important crop species. The extraradical mycelium of …

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 …

Nitrogen (N) is among the most important macro-nutrients significantly affecting plant growth
and yield production. Accordingly, N must be supplied adequately so that optimum amounts …

Nitrogen cycling in agroecosystems is heavily dependent upon arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(AMF) present in the soil microbiome. These fungi develop obligate symbioses with various …

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 …
