Drought stress profoundly affects native desert plants' survival and performance. Among all
the abiotic stresses, drought is considered a major constraint that influences the structure …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis has been referred to as the mother of all
plant root symbioses as it predated the evolution of plant roots. The AM research is a …

Plants' mineral nutrition in acidic soils can be facilitated by phosphate solubilizing fungi
inhabiting the root systems of these plants. We attempt to find dark septate endophyte (DSE) …

Root‐associated fungi play a critical role in plant ecophysiology, growth and subsequent
responses to disturbances, so they are thought to be particularly instrumental in shaping …

Drought stress often leads to heavy losses in mulberry planting, especially for fruits and
leaves. Application of plant growth-promoting fungi (PGPF) endows various plant beneficial …

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) are a diverse group of fungi that form mutualistic
relationships with plant roots, especially under stressful conditions such as heavy metal …

Ferns are known to have a lower incidence of mycorrhization than angiosperms. It has been
suggested that this results from carbon being more limiting to fern growth than nutrient …

Fungi contribute to plant mineral nutrition through diverse symbiotic mycorrhizal
associations. Although historically most attention has been put on Glomeromycotina fungi …

Background Growing evidence suggests that soil microbes can improve plant fitness under
drought. However, in potato, the world's most important non-cereal crop, the role of the …

The roots of different forest species show mixed colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(AMF) and dark septate fungi (DSE). In temperate ecosystems, AMF colonization and …
