A Model for the Development of the Rhizobial and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbioses in Legumes and Its Use to Understand the Roles of Ethylene in the Establishment of these two Symbioses [PDF]
We propose a model depicting the development of nodulation and arbuscular mycorrhizae. Both processes are dissected into many steps, using Pisum sativum L. nodulation mutants as a guideline. For nodulation, we distinguish two main developmental programs,

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Background Pollution by waste hydrocarbons on soil and water bodies is an endemic problem in African countries, particularly in Nigeria. This has caused untold hardship and increase in poverty level of the people, due to the pollution of water and land ...

E151 (sym15), A Pleiotropic Mutant of Pea (Pisum sativum L.), Displays Low Nodule Number, Enhanced Mycorrhizae, Delayed Lateral Root Emergence, and High Root Cytokinin Levels [PDF]
In legumes, the formation of rhizobial and mycorrhizal root symbioses is a highly regulated process which requires close communication between plant and microorganism.

Soil phosphorus drives subcontinental patterns of carbon isotope discrimination across Australia
Summary Several transects have been established to study the sensitivity of carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C) in woody plants to mean annual precipitation (MAP) across Australia. These have shown a surprising divergence in Δ13C‐MAP sensitivity among subcontinental regions.

Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Enhances Biomass Production and Salt Tolerance of Sweet Sorghum
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (AMF) are widely known to form a symbiosis with most higher plants and enhance plant adaptation to a series of environmental stresses.

Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...

Recent advances in exploring physiology and biodiversity of ectomycorrhizas highlight the functioning of these symbioses in ecosystems [PDF]
Ectomycorrhizas, the dominating mycorrhizal symbiosis in boreal, temperate and some tropical forests, are formed by 5000-6000 species of the asco- and basidiomycetes.

Summary Biodiversity is known to influence disease risk, yet the pathways of pathogen transmission within plant communities remain poorly understood, especially belowground. In particular, how soil‐borne pathogens move from resident vegetation and soil to colonize new hosts is unresolved.
