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 …

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 …

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 …

Symbiotic association of roots with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is a very widespread
strategy by which plants facilitate their acquisition of mineral elements from the soil. Studies …

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 …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are vital components of nearly all terrestrial ecosystems,
forming mutually beneficial (mutualistic) symbioses with the roots of around 80% of vascular …

Plant roots in natural ecosystems are typically colonized by a wide range of fungi. Some of
these are pathogenic, others appear to be opportunistic and have no apparent impact, while …

Recent research on arbuscular mycorrhizas has demonstrated that AM fungi play a
significant role in plant phosphorus (P) uptake, regardless of whether the plant responds …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is heavily and positively implicated in phosphorus
(P) acquisition from soil to plants, including many important agricultural crops. Its role in …

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 …
