Arbuscular mycorrhizal community composition associated with two plant species in a grassland ecosystem [PDF]

, 2002
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are biotrophic symbionts colonizing about two-thirds of land plant species and found in all ecosystems. They are of major importance in plant nutrient supply and their diversity is suggested to be an important ...

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Expanding Genomics of Mycorrhizal Symbiosis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
The mycorrhizal symbiosis between soil fungi and plant roots is a ubiquitous mutualism that plays key roles in plant and soil health, and carbon and nutrient cycles. The symbiosis evolved repeatedly and independently as multiple morphological types (e.g.

Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in global sustainable development [PDF]

, 2011
Mycorrhizal symbiosis is a highly evolved mutually beneficial relationship that exists between Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and most of the vascular plants.

Phosphate Import at the Arbuscule: Just a Nutrient?

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2011
Central to the mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis is the arbuscule, the site where symbiotic phosphate is delivered. Initial investigations in legumes have led to the exciting observation that symbiotic phosphate uptake not only enhances plant ...

Experimental evidence that phosphorus fertilization and arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis can reduce the carbon cost of phosphorus uptake

Functional Ecology, 2019
Plants allocate substantial amounts of carbon (C) below‐ground to obtain nutrients and other resources. Increasing nutrient availability typically reduces the C investment in root growth and mycorrhizal fungi, hence reducing the C cost of nutrient ...

Environmental Stress and Role of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis

, 2011
Mycorrhizae are widespread symbioses between plant roots and soil fungi, involved in the absorption of nutrients from the soil. Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AMs) are made up of a wide range of land plants, including at least 80% angiosperms, and fungi belonging to the glomeromycota.

Programming good relations — development of the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis [PDF]

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2007
The majority of plants live in symbiotic associations with fungi or bacteria that improve their nutrition. Critical steps in a symbiosis are mutual recognition and subsequently the establishment of an intimate association, which involves the penetration of plant tissues and, in many cases, the invasion of individual host cells by the microbial symbiont.
