Root‐secreted chemicals mediate multi‐partite interactions in the rhizosphere, where plant
roots continually respond to and alter their immediate environment. Increasing evidence …

Simple Summary The legume–rhizobium symbiosis is one of the most beneficial interactions
with high importance in agriculture, as it delivers nitrogen to plants and soil, thereby …

Underground microbial ecosystems have profound impacts on plant health,,,–. Recently,
essential roles have been shown for plant specialized metabolites in shaping the …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi facilitate plant uptake of mineral nutrients and draw
organic nutrients from the plant. Organic nutrients are thought to be supplied primarily in the …

Plants form beneficial associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, which facilitate nutrient
acquisition from the soil. In return, the fungi receive organic carbon from the plants. The …

To overcome nitrogen deficiencies in the soil, legumes enter symbioses with rhizobial
bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium. Rhizobia are accommodated as …

Legumes, unlike other plants, have the ability to establish symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing
rhizobia. It has been theorized that a unique property of legume root cortical cells enabled …

Colonization of land by plants was a major transition on Earth, but the developmental and
genetic innovations required for this transition remain unknown. Physiological studies and …

Most terrestrial plants establish a symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which
provide them with lipids and sugars in exchange for phosphorus and nitrogen. Nutrient …

The primary objective of this study was to identify the molecular signals present in
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) germinated spore exudates (GSE s) responsible for activating …
