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

Phosphate (Pi) is indispensable for life on this planet. However, for sessile land plants it is
poorly accessible. Therefore, plants have developed a variety of strategies for enhanced …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play an essential role for the nutrient uptake of the
majority of land plants, including many important crop species. The extraradical mycelium of …

The mycorrhizal symbiosis is arguably the most important symbiosis on earth. Fossil records
indicate that arbuscular mycorrhizal interactions evolved 400 to 450 million years ago [1] …

Piriformospora indica, an endophytic fungus of the Sebacinaceae family, colonizes the roots
of a wide variety of plant species and promotes their growth, in a manner similar to …

Genetic engineering strategies for enhancing phytoremediation of heavy metals Page 1 African
Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 8 (4), pp. 529-535, 18 February, 2009 Available online at …

The influence of carbohydrate availability to mycorrhizal roots on uptake, metabolism and
translocation of phosphate (P) by the fungus was examined in axenic cultures of transformed …

Roots of most terrestrial plants are colonized by symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi
confer various benefits to their hosts under phosphorus (P) limitation and other stress …

The roots or other subterranean organs of most plants develop symbioses, mycorrhizas, with
fungal symbionts. Historically, mycorrhizas have been placed into seven categories based …

Trees can be associated with dozens of fungi helping them to acquire resources from forest
soils. The most widespread mutualistic association in boreal and temperate forests is the …
