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

Languishing for many years in the shadow of plant inorganic nitrogen (N) nutrition research,
studies of organic N uptake have attracted increased attention during the last decade. The …

Soil nutrient acquisition and exchanges through symbiotic plant–fungus interactions in the
rhizosphere are key features for the current agricultural and environmental challenges …

This review focuses on interactions among plants, mycorrhizal fungi, and bacteria, testing
the hypothesis whether mycorrhizas can be defined as tripartite associations. After …

Many trees form ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with fungi. During symbiosis, the tree roots
supply sugar to the fungi in exchange for nitrogen, and this process is critical for the nitrogen …

Fungi are often inconspicuous in nature and this means it is all too easy to overlook their
importance. Often referred to as the “Forgotten Kingdom”, fungi are key components of life …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), ectomycorrhiza (ECM) and nitrogen (N) fixation through
rhizobia symbioses (RS) play a critical role for plant nutrient use efficiency in natural …

Understanding the mechanisms that underlie nutrient use efficiency and carbon allocation
along with mycorrhizal interactions is critical for managing croplands and forests soundly …
