Establishing mutualistic relationships between plants and fungi is crucial for overcoming
nutrient deficiencies in plants. This review highlights the intricate nutrient sensing and …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the most important macronutrients required for plant
growth and development. To cope with the limited and uneven distribution of N and P in …

Highlights•Bidirectional exchange of nutrients stabilizes mutualistic plant-fungal
symbioses.•Imbalance in nutrient status affects plant physiology and plant interactions with …

Phosphate is an essential macronutrient for fungal proliferation as well as a key mediator of
antagonistic, beneficial, and pathogenic interactions between fungi and other organisms. In …

The mechanisms underpinning broad compatibility in root symbiosis are largely unexplored.
The generalist root endophyte Piriformospora indica establishes long-lasting interactions …

Symbiotic bacteria, commonly called rhizobia, lead a saprophytic lifestyle in the soil and
form nitrogen-fixing nodules on legume roots. During their lifecycle, rhizobia have to adapt to …

Large flows of nitrogen between the atmosphere, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems
contribute to the global cycle on Earth. When balanced, this cycle ensures that life at every …

Phosphorous is important for life but often limiting for plants. The symbiotic pathway of
phosphate uptake via arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is evolutionarily ancient and today …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the two predominant mineral elements, which are not
only essential for plant growth and development in general but also play a key role in …

Legumes form symbioses with rhizobia to fix N2 in root nodules to supplement their nitrogen
(N) requirements. Many studies have shown how symbioses affect the shoot, but far less is …
