Ecological and genomic variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal exploration types
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 ...

Long‐term effects of clear‐cutting forestry on ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal forest
Summary Clear‐cutting is detrimental to ectomycorrhizal fungi in a short time perspective, but long‐term effects on species richness and community composition are uncertain. To evaluate ecological sustainability of rotation forestry, we examined to what extent communities similar to those in old forests develop within the time frame of a rotation ...

ERF transcription factor StPti5 is a regulator of endophyte community maintenance in potato
Summary We have recently identified an ethylene response factor, StPti5, as a susceptibility factor that negatively regulates immune responses to diverse pathogens. Here, we investigated the role of StPti5 in the processes involved in the colonization of potato with beneficial organisms.

The plant–mycorrhizal fungi relationship can range from mutualistic to parasitic as a function of the fungal taxa involved, plant ontogeny, as well as the availability of resources.

Observing the invisible: X‐ray CT for plant–microbe interactions
Utility of X‐ray computed tomography (X‐ray CT) for visualising belowground plant interactions between multiple spatial scales and focal planes. Summary Plant–microbe interactions are inherently spatial, yet the physical structure of the soil and rhizosphere is rarely treated as a mechanistic variable in experimental design.

Fine‐root trait variation in temperate trees follows arc‐shape pattern along deep soil profiles
Root trait variation along the soil depth profile in four temperate tree species. Summary Roots are plants' interface with the soil, controlling access to water and nutrients. Yet, fine‐root trait variation along deep soil profiles and its functional implications remain poorly understood.

Arctic plants can take up inorganic nitrogen year‐round
Schematic overview of year‐round, Arctic seasonal periods as used throughout the paper and their relation to the 15 repeated measuring periods (top) and the three a priori contrasts (middle) used for statistical testing of seasonality in N‐uptake. Summary Arctic tundra experiences strong climatic seasonality, with cold and long winters, but effective ...

The potential disease suppressiveness of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi of various origins on Bipolaris sorokiniana in barley has been investigated. Firstly, a survey considering the occurrence of AM fungi in arable fields in Sweden were conducted with the aim to exploit site specific genetic resources in relation to disease suppressiveness ...

CNGCs in Marchantia paleacea uncouple arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and rhizoid development
Rhizoid growth and AM fungal infection are uncoupled. Summary In Marchantia paleacea, MpaDMI1‐dependent nuclear Ca2+ oscillations are essential for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonisation, indicating that endosymbiosis‐mediated nuclear Ca2+ signalling is a conserved feature of land plant–AM symbiosis.
