Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) are the symbiotic fungi that predominate in the roots and soils
of agricultural crop plants. The most recognized beneficial effect of these fungi is to enhance …

The colonization of plant roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal [AM] fungi can greatly affect the
plant uptake of mineral nutrients. It may also protect plants from harmful elements in soil. The …

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 increase plant growth and nutrition. However, their
capacity to reduce the leaching of nutrients through the soil profile is less well understood …

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

summary Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) on plant exploitation of soil nutrient
heterogeneity were studied with non‐mycorrhizal and mycorrhizal Agropyron desertorum …

Different mycorrhizal associations are dominant under different soil conditions. This has
naturally placed emphasis on the ability of the fungal partner to supply the key limiting …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play an essential role for the nutrient uptake of the
majority of land plants, including many important crop species. The extraradical mycelium of …

In this Update, we review new findings about the roles of the arbuscular mycorrhizas
(mycorrhiza= fungus plus root) in plant growth and phosphorus (P) nutrition. We focus …

New information on N uptake and transport of inorganic and organic N in arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi is reviewed here. Hyphae of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus …
