Tremendous progress has been made on molecular aspects of plant phosphorus (P)
nutrition, often without heeding information provided by soil scientists, ecophysiologists, and …

Phosphorus (P) availability is usually low in soils around the globe. Most soils have a
deficiency of available P; if they are not fertilized, they will not be able to satisfy the P …

The concept of a root economics space (RES) is increasingly adopted to explore root trait
variation and belowground resource‐acquisition strategies. Much progress has been made …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish symbiotic associations with most terrestrial
plants. These soil microorganisms enhance the plant's nutrient uptake by extending the root …

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 …

Root exudation is an important process determining plant interactions with the soil
environment. Many studies have linked this process to soil nutrient mobilization. Yet, it …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi gain access to nutrient patches outside the rhizosphere
by producing an extensive network of fine hyphae. Here, we focused on establishing the …

At different stages throughout their life cycle, plants often encounter several pathogenic
microbes that challenge plant growth and development. The sophisticated innate plant …

Tomorrow's agriculture, challenged by increasing global demand for food, scarcity of arable
lands, and resources alongside multiple environment pressures, needs to be managed …

In their natural environment, plants are part of a rich ecosystem including numerous and
diverse microorganisms in the soil. It has been long recognized that some of these microbes …
