Soil salinity often hinders plant productivity in both natural and agricultural settings.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) symbionts can mediate plant stress responses by …

Endophytic fungi have been studied in recent decades to understand how they interact with
their hosts, the types of relationships they establish, and the potential effects of this …

Trees interact with a multitude of microbes through their roots and root symbionts such as
mycorrhizal fungi and root endophytes. Here, we explore the role of fungal root symbionts as …

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) frequently colonize roots in the natural environment, but the
effects of these fungi on plants are obscure, with previous studies indicating negative …

Despite decades of intensive research (especially from 1970s to 1990s), the ericoid
mycorrhizal (ErM) hair root is still largely terra incognita and this simplified guide is intended …

Plant tissues host a variety of fungi. One important group is the dark septate endophytes
(DSEs) that colonize plant roots and form characteristic intracellular structures–melanized …

The broad distribution and high colonization rates of plant roots by a variety of endophytic
fungi suggest that these symbionts have an important role in the function of ecosystems …

The practice of intercropping, which involves growing more than one crop simultaneously
during the same growing season, is becoming more important for increasing soil quality …

The mutualistic relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots is a widespread
terrestrial symbiosis. The symbiosis enables plants to better adapt to adverse soil conditions …

Background Although a number of recent studies have uncovered remarkable diversity of
microbes associated with plants, understanding and managing dynamics of plant …
