The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is key to plant nutrition, and hence is potentially
key in sustainable agriculture. Fertilization and other agricultural practices reduce soil AM …

Interactions between communities of plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi shape
fundamental ecosystem properties. Experimental evidence suggests that compositional …

Although arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate symbionts that can influence plant
growth, the magnitude and direction of these effects are highly variable within fungal genera …

The Tansley review by Ryan & Graham (2018) provided a welcome critical perspective on
the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in large-scale industrial agriculture, with a …

Symbiosis is well recognized as a major force in plant ecology and evolution. However,
there is considerable uncertainty about the functional, ecological and evolutionary benefits …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses involve transfer of soil nutrients to plants and plant-
derived organic compounds to AM fungi. Many experiments have shown that individual …

Symbioses may be important mechanisms of plant adaptation to their environment. We
conducted a reciprocal inoculation experiment to test the hypothesis that soil fertility is a key …

There is an increasing need to develop high-yielding, disease-resistant crops and reduce
fertilizer usage. Combining disease resistance with efficient nutrient assimilation through …

The benefits of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis between plants and fungi are
modulated by the functional characteristics of both partners. However, it is unknown to what …

That arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi covary with plant communities is clear, and many
papers report nonrandom associations between symbiotic partners. However, these studies …
