The role that common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) play in plant‐to‐plant transfer of zinc
(Zn) has not yet been investigated, despite the proved functions of arbuscular mycorrhizal …

Introduction Formation of arbuscular mycorrhizas can enhance plant uptake of immobile
nutrients such as zinc (Zn) and phosphorus (P). Enhancement of Zn uptake by arbuscular …

Here we present a Zn transporter cDNA named MtZIP2 from the model legume Medicago
truncatula. MtZIP2 encodes a putative 37 kDa protein with 8-membrane spanning domains …

Mycorrhizas are mutually beneficial associations between soil-borne fungi and plant roots.
Mycorrhizal fungi provide their host plant with essential nutrients in exchange for sugars …

Background and aims Colonisation of roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can
increase plant biomass and nutrition under soil zinc (Zn) deficiency and toxicity conditions …

Soil micronutrient availability, including zinc (Zn), is a limiting factor for crop yield. Arbuscular
mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can improve host plant growth and nutrition through the mycorrhizal …

Transition metals such as iron, copper, zinc, or molybdenum are essential nutrients for
plants. These elements are involved in almost every biological process, including …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient but may become toxic when present in excess. In Zn-
contaminated environments, trees can be protected from Zn toxicity by their root-associated …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), belonging to the Glomeromycota, are soil
microorganisms that establish mutualistic symbioses with the majority of higher plants. The …

Mycorrhizal fungus colonization of roots may modify plant metal acquisition and tolerance. In
the present study, the contribution of the extraradical mycelium of an arbuscular mycorrhizal …
