One of the main challenge for humanity in the years to come is represented by the
production of enough food for a growing global population, while reducing the use of …

Mycorrhizal symbioses with soil fungi are observed on roots (or analogous organs) of more
than 90% of the actual land plants (Smith and Read 1997), and there is fossil evidence that …

Mycorrhizal fungi interact with a wide range of other soil organisms, in the root, in the
rhizosphere and in the bulk soil. These interactions may be inhibitory or stimulatory; some …

In the years since the first edition of “Arbuscular Mycorrhizas: Physiology and Function” was
published, an exceptional proliferation of interest in mycorrhizal biology has developed. This …

Many physicochemical and biotic aspects of the soil environment determine the community
composition of bacteria. In this study, we examined the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal …

One hundred years have elapsed since Frank (1894) used a combination of careful field
observations and laboratory growth studies to develop the first detailed hypothesis …

Fungal biology has an integral role to play in the development of the biotechnology and
biomedical sectors. It has become a subject of increasing importance as new fungi and their …

Dissimilar and diverse symbiotic mycorrhizal interactions within plants and fungi occur,
which is almost ubiquitous and universal, in the broad range of global ecosystems. The …

Beneficial plant–microbe interactions in the rhizosphere are primary determinants of plant
health and soil fertility. Arbuscular mycorrhizas are the most important microbial symbioses …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represent an ecologically relevant and evolutionarily
intriguing group of land plant symbionts, which produce multinucleated spores and hyphae …
