Drivers of strigolactone diversity: P450s in strigolactone biosynthesis

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the discovery and functional identification of cytochrome P450 in strigolactone biosynthesis, classifies and summarizes the members discovered so far, clarifies their biological significance, discusses the technology of strigolactone synthesis research, and finally describes some problems in strigolactone research and potential ...

Mycorrhizas and biomass crops: opportunities for future sustainable development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Central to soil health and plant productivity in natural ecosystems are in situ soil microbial communities, of which mycorrhizal fungi are an integral component, regulating nutrient transfer between plants and the surrounding soil via extensive mycelial ...

Soil phosphorus drives subcontinental patterns of carbon isotope discrimination across Australia

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Several transects have been established to study the sensitivity of carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C) in woody plants to mean annual precipitation (MAP) across Australia. These have shown a surprising divergence in Δ13C‐MAP sensitivity among subcontinental regions.

E151 (sym15), A Pleiotropic Mutant of Pea (Pisum sativum L.), Displays Low Nodule Number, Enhanced Mycorrhizae, Delayed Lateral Root Emergence, and High Root Cytokinin Levels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In legumes, the formation of rhizobial and mycorrhizal root symbioses is a highly regulated process which requires close communication between plant and microorganism.

The phylogenetic structure of plant communities drives the belowground transmission of fungal pathogens

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Biodiversity is known to influence disease risk, yet the pathways of pathogen transmission within plant communities remain poorly understood, especially belowground. In particular, how soil‐borne pathogens move from resident vegetation and soil to colonize new hosts is unresolved.

Ecological and genomic variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal exploration types

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) produce mycelia with variable extension and complexity, which can be classified according to soil ‘exploration types’ (ETs). ETs have received attention as one of the few mycorrhizal trait frameworks, but without an empirical classification of ET functional diversity and environmental preferences, understanding and ...

Endophytic and ectomycorrhizal, an overlooked dual ecological niche? Insights from natural environments and Russula species

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) are key components of temperate ecosystems, and recent studies suggest that they can also inhabit non‐EcM plant roots as endophytes. We aimed to (1) provide new evidence of EcMF colonization of non‐EcM hosts, (2) offer direct microscopic confirmation of such endophytism and (3) assess factors influencing ...

AM fungal colonization minimizes disease damage on tomato during later life stages while delaying fruit development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Beneficial soil microbes, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, can help prepare plants for defense through a mechanism known as priming. Two of the most important unresolved questions in the field of AM fungal-mediated plant defense are (1) whether

Novel Glomeromycotina–moss associations identified in California dryland biocrusts

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Drylands, which comprise c. 45% of Earth's land area, host biological soil crusts (biocrusts): symbiotic communities of cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, lichen, and bryophytes that stabilize soil and support key ecosystem functions. Moss‐dominated biocrusts are particularly interesting due to their potential to illuminate ancient bryophyte–fungal ...

Phylogenetic diversity of Moroccan cork oak woodlands fungi : mythe ou réalité ? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
La variabilité interspécifique de 87 carpophores des champignons appartenant à 15 genres et 39 espèces ont été évaluées par l'analyse du polymorphisme de longueur de fragments de restriction (RFLP) de l'espaceur interne transcrit (ITS).
