Microorganisms are found everywhere, and they are closely associated with plants.
Because the establishment of any plant–microbe association involves chemical …

The fungal symbionts forming ectomycorrhizas, as well as their associated bacteria, benefit
forest trees in a number of ways although the most important is enhancing soil nutrient …

Adaptive behaviour of plants, including rapid changes in physiology, gene regulation and
defence response, can be altered when linked to neighbouring plants by a mycorrhizal …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Ephemeral roots have essential roles in plant and ecosystem functioning. In forests, roots
account for a major component of carbon cycling, yet few studies have examined ranges of …

A wide variety of microorganisms known to produce auxin and auxin precursors form
beneficial relationships with plants and alter host root development. Moreover, other signals …

Mycorrhizal fungi are involved in the uptake of nutrients in exchange for C from host plants,
and possibly in the transfer of C and nutrients between plants. Ecto-mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) …

A bstract Most land plant species that have been examined exist naturally with a higher
fungus living in and around their roots in a symbiotic partnership called a mycorrhiza …

In nature, the root systems of most plants develop intimate symbioses with glomeromycotan
fungi that assist in the acquisition of mineral nutrients and water through uptake from the soil …

Mycorrhizal fungi form mutualistic associations with the roots of most land plants and provide
them with mineral nutrients from the soil in exchange for fixed carbon derived from …
