Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) support critical ecosystem services including plant resource acquisition and productivity. AMF functional traits such as relative biomass investment in root vs soil colonization or drought tolerance are thought to be evolutionarily conserved within AMF lineages and might influence AMF community responses to ...

ABSTRACT Protein‐based biopesticides and biostimulants are critical for the future of sustainable agriculture, yet their utility is severely limited by inefficient delivery into plant cells. Traditional cell‐penetrating peptides enable protein uptake but lack the efficiency, systemic activity and scalability required for crop production.
