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

Environmental stresses can compromise the interactions of plants with beneficial microbes.
In the present review, experimental results showing that stresses negatively affect the …

Plant–nematode interactions are mainly considered from the negative aspect with a focus on
plant‐parasitic nematodes (PPNs), which is justified considering the agronomic losses …

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer drives crop productivity and underlies intensive agriculture, but
overuse of fertilizers also causes detrimental effects to ecosystem. To cope with this …

Parasitic plants use a special organ, the haustorium, to attach to and penetrate host tissues,
forming phloem and/or xylem fusion with the host vascular systems. Across this haustorium …

RNA interference (RNAi) is arguably one of the more versatile mechanisms in cell biology,
facilitating the fine regulation of gene expression and protection against mobile genomic …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form potentially symbiotic associations with most crop
species and potentially increase crop phosphorus (P) uptake in intensive cropping systems …

Forests are highly productive ecosystems that contribute to biogeochemical cycles of carbon
and nitrogen, through which it regulates climate and global change. Forests are also …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis can strengthen plant defense against abiotic stress,
such as drought, through multiple mechanisms; however, the specialized chemical defenses …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities are strongly linked to soil available
phosphorus levels in Eucalyptus plantations. AMF frequently collect and route considerable …
