Plants shape their rhizosphere microbiome by secreting root exudates into the soil
environment. Recently, root-exuded coumarins were identified as novel players in plant …

In the past four decades, tremendous progress has been made in understanding how plants
respond to microbial colonization and how microbial pathogens and symbionts reprogram …

Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between the roots of plants with fungi. Among the
various types of mycorrhizal fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the most …

Plant roots interact with an enormous diversity of commensal, mutualistic, and pathogenic

There is no doubt that Trichoderma is an inhabitant of the rhizosphere that plays an
important role in how plants interact with the environment. Beyond the production of cell wall …

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 …
