The symbiotic interaction between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is often
perceived as beneficial for both partners, though a large ecological literature highlights the …

For years, agrochemical fertilizers have been used in agriculture for crop production.
However, intensive utilization of chemical fertilizers is not an ecological and environmental …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are plant symbionts that promote plant growth and
provide important plant and ecosystem functions. These abilities have great economical …

Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) are major biotic factors reducing yields and limiting
vineyard economic life spans. Fungi in the GTD complex cause a range of symptoms in host …

Attention to soil biodiversity and its importance for sustainable food production has markedly
increased in recent years. In particular, the loss of soil biodiversity as a consequence of …

Quantifying the abundances of fungi is key to understanding natural variation in mycorrhizal
communities in relation to plant ecophysiology and environmental heterogeneity. High …

Droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) is a method used to detect and quantify

There is a global industry built upon the production of “bioinoculants,” which include both
bacteria and fungi. The recent increase in bioinoculant uptake by land users coincides with …

Our understanding regarding the influence of intensive agricultural practices, including
cover cropping and tillage, on communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is lacking …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate plant symbionts that have the potential to
improve crop yield. These multinucleate organisms are either “homokaryotic” or “dikaryotic” …
