Growth model for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2007 In order to quantify the contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to plant phosphorus nutrition, the development and extent of the external fungal mycelium and its nutrient uptake capacity are of particular importance. We develop and analyse a model of the growth of AM fungi associated with plant roots, suitable for describing mechanistically ...

Interactions between mycophagous nematodes, mycorrhizal and other soil fungi [PDF]
, 1990 The hypothesis that mycophagous nematodes feed on the mycelia of VAM fungi and consequently reduce the spread of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) infection in plant roots and the growth response of plants to this infection was investigated in ...

Journal of Ecology & Natural ResourcesArbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) are behind the crucial symbiosis that occurs within over 80% of the root systems of vascular plants, reputed for their potentialities regarding the plant, soil, and conjecture with the existing microbiome. Researchers inclined toward studying AMFs in their occurrence in the environment are currently embracing ...

Impact of growth and uptake patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on plant phosphorus uptake—a modelling study [PDF]
, 2008 In this paper we present a mathematical model for estimating external mycelium growth of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and its effect on root uptake of phosphate (P).

Contrasting arbuscular mycorrhizal communities colonizing different host plants show a similar response to a soil phosphorus concentration gradient [PDF]
, 2013 High soil phosphorus (P) concentration is frequently shown to reduce root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, but the influence of P on the diversity of colonizing AM fungi is uncertain.

Molecular characterization of plant mutants defective in mycorrhiza formation [PDF]
, 2011 Arbuscular mycorrhizas play a key role in plant growth by supporting the acquisition of mineral nutrients, especially phosphorus. Around 80 % of vascular plants exhibit this association.
