More than two-thirds of terrestrial plants acquire nutrients by forming a symbiosis with
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. AM fungal hyphae recruit distinct microbes into their …

Inhabiting the interface between plant roots and soil, mycorrhizal fungi play a unique but
underappreciated role in soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics. Their hyphae provide an …

The term “Glomalin” was originally used to describe a hypothetical gene product of
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that was assumed to be a nearly ubiquitous …

Dual‐mycorrhizal plants are capable of associating with fungi that form characteristic
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) structures. Here, we address the …

The extraradical hyphae-associated microbiome of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), the
“hyphosphere microbiome,” harbors a diverse reservoir of microbes. The biological …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi lack efficient exoenzymes to access organic nutrients
directly. Nevertheless, the fungi often obtain and further channel to their host plants a …

Background Linking the identity of wild microbes with their ecophysiological traits and
environmental functions is a key ambition for microbial ecologists. Of many techniques that …

Quantifying the impact of drought on microbial processes and its consequences for soil
carbon cycling is hindered by the lack of underlying mechanistic understanding. Therefore …

Background Most plants have a hyphosphere, the thin zone of soil around extraradical
hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which extends beyond the rhizosphere. This …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a positive role in plant water relations, and the AM
symbiosis is often cited as beneficial for overcoming drought stress of host plants …
