Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis occurs between obligate biotrophic fungi of the
phylum Glomeromycota and most land plants. The exchange of nutrients between host …

With increasing demand of agricultural production and as the peak in global production will
occur in the next decades, phosphorus (P) is receiving more attention as a nonrenewable …

Although interactions between plants and microbes at the plant–soil interface are known to
be important for plant nutrient acquisition, relatively little is known about how root exudates …

Root systems of most land plants form arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses in the field,
and these contribute to nutrient uptake. AM roots have two pathways for nutrient absorption …

Understanding the dynamics of rhizosphere microbial communities is essential for predicting
future ecosystem function, yet most research focuses on either spatial or temporal …

Background Three–dimensional root architectural models emerged in the late 1980s,
providing an opportunity to conceptualise and investigate that all important part of plants that …

The symbiosis of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) with plants, the most ancient and
widespread association, exhibits phenotypes that range from mutualism to parasitism …

The soil environment is interesting and complicated. There are so many interactions taking
place in the soil, which determine the properties of soil as a medium for the growth and …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) are major crops cultivated
around the world, thus playing a crucial role on human diet. Remarkably, the growing …

Abstract Background Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AMs) form a widespread root–fungus
symbiosis that improves plant phosphate (Pi) acquisition and modifies the physiology and …
