Mycorrhizas are among the most important biological interkingdom interactions, as they
involve~ 340,000 land plants and~ 50,000 taxa of soil fungi. In these mutually beneficial …

More than two-thirds of terrestrial plants acquire nutrients by forming a symbiosis with
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. AM fungal hyphae recruit distinct microbes into their …

Fungi are major ecological players in both terrestrial and aquatic environments by cycling
organic matter and channelling nutrients across trophic levels. High-throughput sequencing …

The fungal kingdom comprises a hyperdiverse clade of heterotrophic eukaryotes
characterized by the presence of a chitinous cell wall, the loss of phagotrophic capabilities …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi facilitate plant uptake of mineral nutrients and draw
organic nutrients from the plant. Organic nutrients are thought to be supplied primarily in the …

Extraradical hyphae (ERH) of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) extend from plant roots
into the soil environment and interact with soil microbial communities. Evidence of positive …

BACKGROUND Among the extensive cortège of plant-associated microorganisms (the so-
called plant microbiota), mutualistic fungal and bacterial symbionts are striking examples of …

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) constitute a group of root obligate biotrophs that
exchange mutual benefits with about 80% of plants. They are considered natural …
