Plant roots associate with diverse microbes (including bacteria, fungi, archaea, protists, and
viruses) collectively called the root-associated microbiome. Among them, mycorrhizal fungi …

Abiotic stresses hamper plant growth and productivity. Climate change and agricultural
malpractices like excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides have aggravated the effects of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi (AMF) are a big player of the ecosystem which shows a major
concern over plant nutrition by providing access to the soil-derived nutrients. Naturally, an …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis occurs between obligate biotrophic fungi of the
phylum Glomeromycota and most land plants. The exchange of nutrients between host …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form mutualistic symbioses with c. two-
thirds of all land plants. Traditionally, it was thought that they played no role in nitrogen (N) …

Plants rapidly release photoassimilated carbon (C) to the soil via direct root exudation and
associated mycorrhizal fungi, with both pathways promoting plant nutrient availability. This …

Most land plants form symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. These
are the most common and widespread terrestrial plant symbioses, which have a global …

Root systems of most land plants form arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses in the field,
and these contribute to nutrient uptake. AM roots have two pathways for nutrient absorption …

Plants and their arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbionts interact in complex underground
networks involving multiple partners. This increases the potential for exploitation and …

Most plant species can form symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs), which may
enhance the host plant's acquisition of soil nutrients. In contrast to phosphorus nutrition, the …
