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

Phosphate (Pi) is indispensable for life on this planet. However, for sessile land plants it is
poorly accessible. Therefore, plants have developed a variety of strategies for enhanced …

To secure phosphorus (P) from soil, most land plants use a direct phosphate uptake
pathway via root hairs and epidermis and an indirect phosphate uptake pathway via …

Strigolactones are rhizosphere signals and phytohormones that play crucial roles in plant
development. They are also well known for their role in integrating nitrate and phosphate …

Strigolactones are a structurally diverse class of plant hormones that control many aspects of
shoot and root growth. Strigolactones are also exuded by plants into the rhizosphere, where …

Strigolactones (SLs) are plant hormones that regulate diverse developmental processes and
environmental responses. They are also known to be root‐derived chemical signals that …

Plants associate with a wide range of microorganisms, with both detrimental and beneficial
outcomes. Central to plant survival is the ability to recognize invading microorganisms and …

Plants have lived in close association with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi for over 400
million years. Today, this endosymbiosis occurs broadly in the plant kingdom where it has a …

The default mineral nutrient acquisition strategy of land plants is the symbiosis with
arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi. Research into the cell and developmental biology of AM …

Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid-derived plant hormones and signaling molecules. When
released into the soil, SLs indicate the presence of a host to symbiotic fungi and root …
