Intraspecific variation in an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus affects a plant and an AMF community
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Mesocosm placement within the growing facility. Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) show substantial genetic, trait, and functional variation within species. Whether this intraspecific variability has community‐level consequences for plant and AMF communities is unclear.

Molecular diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in onion roots from organic and conventional farming systems in the Netherlands [PDF]
, 2009 Diversity and colonization levels of naturally occurring arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in onion roots were studied to compare organic and conventional farming systems in the Netherlands.

Recent plant photosynthate as a driver of ecological and evolutionary processes
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Timeline of key eco‐evolutionary outcomes arising from belowground allocation of recent plant photosynthate from shoots. Summary Plants rapidly allocate carbon from photosynthesis belowground via root exudates and root‐associated microorganisms. Here we synthesise recent evidence of our understanding of the consequences of this ‘fast’ pathway of recent

New Phytologist, EarlyView.The phylogenetically conserved trade‐off between the investment in root hairs and mycorrhization formation. Summary Plants take up nutrients from the soil while investing in absorptive root surface or mycorrhizal partners. Root hairs – a major structure for nutrient uptake and cheap to build – increase the absorptive root surface.

Functional adaptation of a plant receptor-kinase paved the way for the evolution of intracellular root symbioses with bacteria [PDF]
, 2008 Nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbioses (RNS) occur in two major forms-Actinorhiza and legume-rhizobium symbiosis-which differ in bacterial partner, intracellular infection pattern, and morphogenesis.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis of Acer cinerascens and effects of season variation on some rhizosphere (Case study: Bazoft, Chaharmahal-o-Bakhtiari) [PDF]
مجله جنگل ایران, 2011 Arbuscular mycorrhizas fungi (AM) are the most important microorganisms of soil having an important role in soil fertility. The symbiosis rate between AM and plants are different based on specific physiological characteristics and morphological root ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2009 Background Like other species of the Phaseoleae tribe, common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has the potential to establish symbiosis with rhizobia and to fix the atmospheric dinitrogen (N2) for its N nutrition.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Sugars as Central Integrators of Plant Immunity and Stress Responses
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sugars are fundamental metabolites that sustain plant growth and development, but accumulating evidence demonstrates that they also function as regulatory hubs in plant defence. In this review, we synthesise current knowledge on how carbohydrate dynamics coordinate metabolism, signalling, and structural responses to shape plant resistance ...
