The fungal symbiosis with the plant root system is importantly recognized as a plant growth
promoting fungi (PGPFs), as well as elicitor of plant defence against different biotic and …

Reclamation using fast-growing trees has great potential for agroforestry development on
former non-ferrous metal mining areas. However, the functional traits of ectomycorrhizal …

Although the roots of woody plants are essential for nitrogen (N) uptake and assimilation,
proteomic regulation underlying these processes is unclear in acclimation to changing N …

Pinus massoniana Lamb.(P. massoniana) grown under water-deficient conditions displays a
