Global change reshapes glomalin‐mediated soil carbon sequestration by influencing plant inputs

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Glomalin‐related soil protein (GRSP), a by‐product of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), plays a crucial role in stabilizing soil organic carbon (SOC). Global change factors (GCFs) such as elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), climate warming and anthropogenic ...

REJUVENATING OLDER APPLE TREES BY ROOT PRUNING COMBINED WITH ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2017
Older apple trees often demonstrate physiologically unreasonable shoot distribution due to root system aging, which results in lower fruit yield and poor fruit quality.

Proteomic analysis of the response of Funnelifor mismosseae/Medicago sativa to atrazine stress

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbiotic associations with host plants can protect host plants against diverse biotic and abiotic stresses, and promote biodegradation of various contaminants.

Mycorrhiza‐induced alterations in the spatial structure of stands in a subtropical forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Spatial aggregation patterns represent snapshots of ecological processes that occurred over an extensive period. Such processes can shape both the conspecific and the heterospecific spatial structure of plants across woody habitats.

Inoculation with the mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis modulates the relationship between root growth and nutrient content in maize (Zea mays ssp. mays L.)

Plant Direct, 2019
Plant root systems play a fundamental role in nutrient and water acquisition. In resource‐limited soils, modification of root system architecture is an important strategy to optimize plant performance.

Root growth and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on woody plants for vegetative stabilization of tropical slopes [PDF]

Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Plant growth is improved by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, although they have not been researched for slope stability. These fungal inoculations and bamboo interventions may promote root development toward the slip plane ...

Harvesting benefits: Exploring the effects of second‐best policies on enhancing soil organic carbon stocks in agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Flavonoids and Strigolactones in Root Exudates as Signals in Symbiotic and Pathogenic Plant-Fungus Interactions

Molecules, 2007
Secondary plant compounds are important signals in several symbiotic and pathogenic plant-microbe interactions. The present review is limited to two groups of secondary plant compounds, flavonoids and strigolactones, which have been reported in root ...
