The symbiotic interaction between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is often
perceived as beneficial for both partners, though a large ecological literature highlights the …

The heavy metal pollution is a worldwide problem and has received a serious concern for
the ecosystem and human health. In the last decade, remediation of the agricultural polluted …

To secure phosphorus (P) from soil, most land plants use a direct phosphate uptake
pathway via root hairs and epidermis and an indirect phosphate uptake pathway via …

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 …

Increasing the proportion of locally produced plant protein in currently meat-rich diets could
substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. However, plant …

Endophytic fungi infect plant tissues by evading the immune response, potentially
stimulating stress-tolerant plant growth. The plant selectively allows microbial colonization to …

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 …

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

The global environment is dominated by various small exotic substances, known as
secondary metabolites, produced by plants and microorganisms. Plants and fungi are …

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 …
