Beneficial microorganisms colonizing internal plant tissues, the endophytes, support their
host through plant growth promotion, pathogen protection, and abiotic stress alleviation …

Beyond their function as structural barriers, plant cell walls are essential elements for the
adaptation of plants to environmental conditions. Cell walls are dynamic structures whose …

Plants establish symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to facilitate
nutrient uptake, particularly in nutrient-limited conditions. This partnership is rooted in the …

Cell walls are important interfaces of plant-fungal interactions, acting as robust physical and
chemical barriers against invaders. Upon fungal colonization, plants deposit phenolics and …

In order to discriminate between detrimental, commensal, and beneficial microbes, plants
rely on polysaccharides such as β-glucans, which are integral components of microbial and …

Highlights•Plant cell walls are dynamic defensive structures that pathogens must overcome
to colonise plant tissues.•Plant cell walls are hydrolysed by cell wall degrading enzymes …

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis formed by most extant land plants with symbiotic
fungi evolved 450 Ma. AM promotes plant growth by improving mineral nutrient and water …

Zhang and coworkers challenged cotton plants with both an AM fungus (Rhizophagus
irregularis) and a fungal pathogen (Verticillium dahliae). This approach led them to the …

Cell-surface glycans are abundant and complex and play a critical role in maintaining
protein stability, regulating cell behavior, and participating in cell communication. Obtaining …
