Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form mutualistic symbioses with c. two-
thirds of all land plants. Traditionally, it was thought that they played no role in nitrogen (N) …

Root systems of most land plants form arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses in the field,
and these contribute to nutrient uptake. AM roots have two pathways for nutrient absorption …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), a symbiosis between plants and members of an ancient
phylum of fungi, the Glomeromycota, improves the supply of water and nutrients, such as …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play an essential role for the nutrient uptake of the
majority of land plants, including many important crop species. The extraradical mycelium of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form associations with most land plants and facilitate nutrient
uptake from the soil, with the plant receiving mineral nutrients from the fungus and in return …

We present the 1.06 Gb sequenced genome of Gastrodia elata, an obligate
mycoheterotrophic plant, which contains 18,969 protein-coding genes. Many genes …

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, formed between the majority of land plants and
ubiquitous soil fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota, is responsible for massive nutrient …

Sustainable agriculture is the only solution in providing food security to feed the gigantic
population, with resource limitation being a foremost challenge for the global community …

During arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, the plant gains access to phosphate (Pi) and
nitrogen delivered by its fungal symbiont. Transfer of mineral nutrients occurs at the interface …

Nitrogen (N) is the most abundant mineral nutrient required by plants, and crop productivity
depends heavily on N fertilization in many soils. Production and application of N fertilizers …
