The pitfalls of rDNA-based AMF identification: a comparative analysis of rDNA and protein-coding genes. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Intragenomic polymorphism of rDNA in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has been largely overlooked in ecological and taxonomic studies, and the reliability of nuclear rDNA regions for species identification has not been comprehensively evaluated and compared with protein‐coding genes.

From glomalin to glomalose: unraveling the molecular identity of the MAb32B11 antigen. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Glomalin, a substance produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, has well‐documented benefits for plant and soil health, including water retention and soil aggregation. Glomalin quantification has been performed by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a monoclonal antibody, MAb32B11, that has been described as targeting a heat ...

Glomalin: A Miracle Protein for Carbon Sequestration
International Journal of Plant & Soil Science, 2022 AMF (Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi)’s hyphae and spore walls releases a special kind of glycoprotein i.e. Glomalin. AMF belongs to the phylem Glomeromycota which was previously known as Zygomycota. There exists a symbiotic relationship of this fungi with terrestrial plants (~80%), that includes major commercial species viz.

Effect of organic fertilisers on glomalin content and soil organic matter quality
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2020 Glomalin is one of the factors with an important role at forming and stabilising soil aggregates. Long-term stationary experiments were carried out to observe the influence of various fertilisation treatments on the content of glomalin in topsoil.

Divergent selection in moisture-responsive root-branching pathways between tropical and temperate maize germplasm. [PDF]
J Integr Plant BiolThis commentary on Scharwies et al. (2025, Science) discusses maize root branching in response to moisture gradients and highlights research gaps in investigation of the role of soil type and soil properties in driving weak or strong root hydropatterning in maize.
