Most terrestrial plants are able to form a root symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi for enhancing the assimilation of mineral nutrients. AM fungi are obligate symbionts …

Plants and their biotic enemies, such as microbial pathogens and herbivorous insects, are
engaged in a desperate battle which would determine their survival–death fate. Plants have …

In terrestrial ecosystems, plants take up phosphate predominantly via association with
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). We identified loss of responsiveness to AMF in the rice …

Seedling emergence in monocots depends mainly on mesocotyl elongation, requiring
coordination between developmental signals and environmental stimuli. Strigolactones …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi establish probably one of the oldest mutualistic
relationships with the roots of most plants on earth. The wide distribution of these fungi in …

Plants face numerous challenges from both aboveground and belowground stressors, and
defend themselves against harmful insects and microorganisms in many ways. Because …

Main conclusion This paper reviews the importance of AM symbiosis in alleviating plant
stress under unfavourable environmental conditions, making emphasis on the role of …

Growing research suggests that endophytic fungi deeply affect plant physiology,
development, and metabolism, which has become an indispensable subject in plant …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are plant growth promoters that ameliorate plant-water
relations and the nutrient uptake of wheat. In this work, two cultivars of Triticum spp., a bread …

Plant roots, as underground structures, are hidden from view, difficult to work with and
therefore typically understudied, especially in agricultural research. In addition to providing …
