More than two-thirds of terrestrial plants acquire nutrients by forming a symbiosis with
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. AM fungal hyphae recruit distinct microbes into their …

Since the colonization of land by ancestral plant lineages 450 million years ago, plants and
their associated microbes have been interacting with each other, forming an assemblage of …

Intensive agricultural practices and cultivation of exhaustive crops has deteriorated soil
fertility and its quality in agroecosystems. According to an estimate, such practices will …

The extraradical hyphae-associated microbiome of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), the
“hyphosphere microbiome,” harbors a diverse reservoir of microbes. The biological …

The knowledge of the survival of inoculated fungal and bacterial strains in field and the
effects of their release on the indigenous microbial communities has been of great interest …

The colonization of land by plants appears to have coincided with the appearance of
mycorrhiza-like fungi. Over evolutionary time, fungi have maintained their prominent role in …

The rhizodeposition of plants dramatically influence the surrounding soil and its microflora.
Root exudates have pronounced selective and promoting effects on specific microbial …

Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) associations range in degree of bacterial proximity
to the root and intimacy of association. In general, these can be separated into extracellular …

Soil microbial populations are immersed in a framework of interactions known to affect plant
fitness and soil quality. They are involved in fundamental activities that ensure the stability …

The loss of carbon from roots (rhizodeposition) and the consequent proliferation of
microorganisms in the surrounding soil, coupled with the physical presence of a root and …
