Mycorrhizal associations between fungi and plant roots have globally significant impacts on
nutrient cycling. Mucoromycotina 'fine root endophytes'(MFRE) are a distinct and recently …

The microbial world represents a phenomenal diversity of microorganisms from different
kingdoms of life, which occupy an impressive set of ecological niches. Most, if not all …

Background and aims Soil microorganisms play key roles in soil nutrient turnover and plant
community composition; however, the soil microbial community composition and species …

In this study, we investigated the interactive effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus
(AMF) Rhizophagus irregularis and soil bacteriomes on maize growth under salt stress (100 …

This review highlights new advances in the emerging field of 'Fungi-on-a-Chip'microfluidics
for single-cell studies on fungi and discusses several future frontiers, where we envisage …

Fungal communities inhabiting plant roots and the soil diverge because they are shaped by
differences in abiotic environment and plant filtering. Therefore, these two communities will …

Plants constantly communicate with coexisting neighbors and adjust their physiological and
morphological characteristics, including changes in root system architecture (RSA) …

Feeding the world's growing population requires continuously increasing crop yields with
less fertilizers and agrochemicals on limited land. Focusing on plant belowground traits …

The simultaneous symbiosis of leguminous plants with two root mutualists, endophytic fungi
and rhizobia is common in nature, yet how two mutualists interact and co‐exist before …

In semi-arid regions, post-restoration vegetation recovery on abandoned agricultural lands
often fails due to inherently low organic matter content and poor soil fertility conditions …
