Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal inoculation increases the bioavailability of zinc and iron in wheat grain

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Bread wheat is an important crop that supplies calories and nutrients to the global population. Enhancing the concentrations and bioavailability of essential micronutrients in wheat is crucial for human nutrition, and we investigated whether arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can contribute to the biofortification of wheat.

Connecting the dots: Network structure as a functional trait in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil health and sustainable land management are critical to addressing global challenges such as food security, climate resilience, and biodiversity loss. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form underground networks that enhance plant nutrient uptake and improve soil structure, yet their functional diversity remains poorly understood, limiting their ...

Digitizing collections to unlock the full potential of palynology: A case study with the Smithsonian palynology collection

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

Incorporating soil biological and functional attributes to advance ecological restoration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Earth is currently experiencing a mass extinction crisis, predominantly driven by anthropogenic activities, with land use change causing widespread loss and degradation of native ecosystems and indigenous species. There is an urgent need to halt this trend and restore degraded habitat to preserve biodiversity and protect threatened plants and animals ...

Crop genotypic richness enhances biomass production and phosphorus acquisition in maize‐mycorrhiza symbiosis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Our study tests how soil and plant biodiversity can enhance sustainability of crop production in Kenya. We tested whether mixtures of maize varieties performed better than monocultures and tested their response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal responsiveness differed significantly by maize variety, and genetic mixtures outperformed ...
