Plant roots associate with diverse microbes (including bacteria, fungi, archaea, protists, and
viruses) collectively called the root-associated microbiome. Among them, mycorrhizal fungi …

Mycorrhizas are among the most important biological interkingdom interactions, as they
involve~ 340,000 land plants and~ 50,000 taxa of soil fungi. In these mutually beneficial …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is a widespread symbiosis between roots of the majority of land
plants and Glomeromycotina fungi. AM is important for ecosystem health and functioning as …

Phytohormones play central roles in boosting plant tolerance to environmental stresses,
which negatively affect plant productivity and threaten future food security. Strigolactones …

Plant-microorganism interactions at the rhizosphere level have a major impact on plant
growth and plant tolerance and/or resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Of particular …

Strigolactones (SLs) control plant development, enhance symbioses, and act as germination
stimulants for some of the most destructive species of parasitic weeds, making SLs a …

Most land plants engage in mutually beneficial interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi, the fungus providing phosphate and nitrogen in exchange for fixed carbon. During …

Phytohormones are small chemicals critical for plant development and adaptation to a
changing environment. Strigolactones (SLs), carotenoid-derived small signalling molecules …

Abstract Background and Aims An increase in root hair length and density and the
development of arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis are two alternative strategies of most …

Most terrestrial plants are able to form a root symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi for enhancing the assimilation of mineral nutrients. AM fungi are obligate symbionts …
