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 ...

Complementary root and mycorrhizal foraging strategies for phosphorus acquisition among arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal trees in a subtropical forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phosphorus (P) availability is widely recognized as an important constraint on plant growth in many subtropical forest ecosystems, yet how contrasting mycorrhizal strategies mediate the use of inorganic and organic P forms remains unclear.

Aboveground herbivory suppresses the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, reducing plant phosphorus uptake

, 2021
Most terrestrial plants form associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which are soil-dwelling microbial symbionts that provide plants with soil nutrients, while plants supply the fungi with carbon.

Phenolic exudates from orchid seeds as nutrients chemically attract fungi

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Most orchid species require fungi for natural germination, but the molecular mechanism of this symbiosis is poorly understood. Cremastra appendiculata seeds secrete phenolic acids before fungal contact, acting as nutrient molecules to chemically attract its symbiotic fungus Coprinellus disseminatus.

Population Biology and Interactions of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Their Benefits in Strawberry Cultivation [PDF]

, 2014
The diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and relative abundance among species may affect their ecological impact. Species-specific primers for qPCR quantification of Funneliformis geosporus and F.mosseae DNA were developed to quantify their ...

Mycorrhiza: The Importance of This Hidden Network

South-East European Forestry
Mycorrhizal symbiosis represents a mutualistic association between fungi and plant roots which significantly impacts terrestrial ecosystems. Mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant nutrient acquisition, especially phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N).

The effect of root pruning on the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in grapevine rootstocks

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture, 2019
Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi provide benefits to plants, especially under stressful growing conditions. These symbiotic fungi can be applied as biofertilizers prior to transplant in order to increase establishment success in the field.

A novel method based on high‐resolution imaging spectroscopy to predict fine‐root traits and the economics space of fresh tree roots

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Maps of the estimated root nitrogen concentration in the < 0.5‐mm‐diameter classes of 20 woody species based on the imaging spectroscopy using the shortwave infrared spectral region. Summary Tree fine‐root morphological, anatomical, and chemical traits are important to reflect belowground resource acquisition strategies to support tree growth, but ...

Is a Fully Established Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis Required for Bioprotection of Pisum sativum Roots against Aphanomyces euteiches?

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2000
Bioprotection of pea roots against Aphanomyces euteiches by the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus G. mosseae was demonstrated to depend on a fully established symbiosis. This was related with induction of mycorrrhiza-related chitinolytic enzymes.
