Most land plants form symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. These
are the most common and widespread terrestrial plant symbioses, which have a global …

A comprehensive appraisal of the mycorrhizal literature provides data for 336 plant families
representing 99% of flowering plants, with regard to mycorrhizas and other nutritional …

Water Relations of Plants and Soils, successor to the seminal 1983 book by Paul Kramer,
covers the entire field of water relations using current concepts and consistent terminology …

▪ Abstract Acid soils significantly limit crop production worldwide because approximately
50% of the world's potentially arable soils are acidic. Because acid soils are such an …

Here, the coevolution of mycorrhizal fungi and roots is assessed in the light of evidence now
available, from palaeobotanical and morphological studies and the analysis of DNA‐based …

Phosphorus (P) is one of the major plant growth-limiting nutrients although it is abundant in
soils in both inorganic and organic forms. Phosphate solubilizing micro-organisms (PSMs) …

Compared with the other major nutrients, phosphorus is by far the least mobile and available
to plants in most soil conditions. Although, phosphorus is abundant in soils in both organic …

Beneficial plant–microbe interactions in the rhizosphere are primary determinants of plant
health and soil fertility. Arbuscular mycorrhizas are the most important microbial symbioses …

The term mycorrhiza is used to describe a broad range of mutualistic associations formed
between plant roots and fungi. Such associations exist in the majority of land plant species …

Biological control of plant pathogens is currently accepted as a key practice in sustainable
agriculture because it is based on the management of a natural resource, ie certain …
