Different symbiotic mycorrhizal associations between plants and fungi occur, almost
ubiquitously, in a wide range of terrestrial ecosystems. Historically, these have mainly been …

Research on the mycorrhizal associations over the past several decades has yielded
increased understanding and appreciation of the important role of this symbiosis in the …

Since their colonization of terrestrial ecosystems, plants have developed numerous
strategies to cope with the diverse biotic and abiotic challenges that are a consequence of …

The effects of mycorrhizal fungi have traditionally been considered within the rather narrow
perspective of their effects on the mineral nutrition of individual plants. Most biologists are …

An unprecedented, rapid change in environmental conditions is being observed, which
invariably overrules the adaptive capacity of land plants. These environmental changes …

The major achievement of the first hundred years of research on the mycorrhizal symbiosis
is the observation that the symbiosis is almost universally present in natural communities of …

Extraradical mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi are normally the hidden half of the symbiosis, but
they are powerful underground influences upon biogeochemical cycling, the composition of …

The mycorrhizal symbiosis is arguably the most important symbiosis on earth. Fossil records
indicate that arbuscular mycorrhizal interactions evolved 400 to 450 million years ago [1] …

There is an increasing awareness among ecologists and mycorrhizologists that mycorrhizal
fungi are an integral part of ecosystems and that, therefore, their ecological function needs to …

Microbe-microbe interactions are crucial to understand the dynamic processes characteristic
of rhizosphere establishment and maintenance and affecting plant growth and health …
