Mycorrhizal fungal networks linking the roots of trees in forests are increasingly recognized
to facilitate inter-tree communication via resource, defense, and kin recognition signaling …

Adaptive behaviour of plants, including rapid changes in physiology, gene regulation and
defence response, can be altered when linked to neighbouring plants by a mycorrhizal …

Mycorrhizal fungi can interconnect individual plants to form common mycorrhizal networks
(CMNs). Recent work has shown that these networks can transport signals produced by …

Mycorrhizal associations, by which most land plants receive mineral nutrition, are diffuse
and often non-specific. A common mycorrhizal network is formed when fungal mycelia …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are mutualistic symbionts living in the roots of 80% of land
plant species, and developing extensive, belowground extraradical hyphae fundamental for …

BACKGROUND All vascular plants associate with fungi and bacteria—the microbiome. Root
associations with mycorrhizal fungi benefit most plants by enhancing their nutrient access …

The dynamics of forest ecosystems depend largely on the survival of seedlings in their
understories, but seedling survival is known to be limited by preemption of light and soil …

In many natural communities communication between plants and other organisms below
ground drives community dynamics. This communication is primarily through the release …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form mutualistic interactions with the majority of land
plants, including some of the most important crop species. The fungus takes up nutrients …

Common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) that connect individual plants of the same or
different species together play important roles in nutrient and signal transportation, and plant …
