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 …

Phytopathogenic fungi decrease crop yield and quality and cause huge losses in
agricultural production. To prevent the occurrence of crop diseases and insect pests, farmers …

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 …

The extraradical hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are colonized by different
bacteria in natural and agricultural systems, but the mechanisms by which AM fungi interact …

Mycorrhizal symbioses between plants and fungi are vital for the soil structure, nutrient
cycling, plant diversity, and ecosystem sustainability. More than 250 000 plant species are …

Humans have dramatically increased atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition globally. At the
coarsest resolution, N deposition is correlated with shifts from ectomycorrhizal (EcM) to …

Glomeromycotina is a lineage of early diverging fungi that establish arbuscular mycorrhizal
(AM) symbiosis with land plants. Despite their major ecological role, the genetic basis of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, forming symbiotic associations with land plants, are
obligate symbionts that cannot complete their natural life cycle without a host. The fatty acid …

Strigolactones (SLs) control plant development, enhance symbioses, and act as germination
stimulants for some of the most destructive species of parasitic weeds, making SLs a …

Drought is a critical factor limiting the productivity of legumes worldwide. Legumes can enter
into a unique tripartite symbiotic relationship with root-nodulating bacteria of genera …
