Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form mutualistic symbioses with c. two-
thirds of all land plants. Traditionally, it was thought that they played no role in nitrogen (N) …

Most land plants form symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. These
are the most common and widespread terrestrial plant symbioses, which have a global …

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 …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can benefit growth and yield of agriculturally significant
crops by increasing mineral nutrient uptake, disease resistance and drought tolerance of …

Nitrogen is a major nutrient that frequently limits primary productivity in terrestrial
ecosystems. Therefore, the physiological responses of plants to soil nitrogen (N) availability …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) benefit plants by allowing them to grow and produce in
relatively harsh mineral stress environments. This has been attributed extensively to ability …

Efficient resource use is a key factor for sustainable production and a necessity for meeting
future global food demands. However, the factors that control resource use efficiency in agro …

Viticulture is a major worldwide economic sector with a vine area of 7.52 million ha, wine
production of 288 Mhl, and wine exports of 26 billion euros. Nevertheless, viticulture has to …

Colonization of plant roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can greatly increase the plant
uptake of phosphorus and nitrogen. The most prominent contribution of arbuscular …
