Due to increasingly limited water resources, diminishing farmland acreage, and potentially
negative effects of climate change, an urgent need exists to improve agricultural productivity …

Environmental stresses can compromise the interactions of plants with beneficial microbes.
In the present review, experimental results showing that stresses negatively affect the …

Our aim was to study the effects of glyphosate, tilling practice and cultivation history on
mycorrhizal colonization and growth of target (weeds) and non-target (crops) plants …

A trade‐off between growth and defence functions is commonly observed in plants. We
propose that the association of plants with Epichloë fungal endophytes may eliminate this …

Simple Summary Plants form beneficial symbioses with endophytes, arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi, and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia. In addition to their role in plant growth and development …

Glyphosate has become the best-selling herbicide used in agriculture, horticulture,
silviculture, and urban environments. It disrupts the shikimate metabolic pathway and …

Olive (Olea europaea) is a crop of great agronomic, economic and cultural interest for the
Mediterranean Basin, although the increase in world demand for olive oil is expanding its …

During herbivory, insects recognize their host plant based on specific chemical cues,
whereas the plants induce various chemical and morphological defense responses to resist …

Endophytes are emerging as integral components of plant microbiomes. Some of them play
pivotal roles in plant development and plant responses to pathogens and abiotic stresses …

Plants commonly form mutualistic associations with fungal endophytes. We put forward the
hypothesis, with supporting evidence, that certain plant physiological responses to stress [ie …
