Plant roots associate with diverse microbes (including bacteria, fungi, archaea, protists, and
viruses) collectively called the root-associated microbiome. Among them, mycorrhizal fungi …

The symbiotic interaction between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is often
perceived as beneficial for both partners, though a large ecological literature highlights the …

BACKGROUND Although plants are dependent on the capture of a number of elemental
nutrients from the soil, the principal nutrients that limit plant productivity are nitrogen (N) and …

Phosphate (Pi) is indispensable for life on this planet. However, for sessile land plants it is
poorly accessible. Therefore, plants have developed a variety of strategies for enhanced …

Nitrogen fixing symbioses between plants and bacteria are ancient and, while not
numerous, are formed in diverse lineages of plants ranging from microalgae to …

Most land plants benefit from endosymbiotic interactions with mycorrhizal fungi, including
legumes and some nonlegumes that also interact with endosymbiotic nitrogen (N)-fixing …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the most important macronutrients required for plant
growth and development. To cope with the limited and uneven distribution of N and P in …

Medicago truncatula is a model legume species that has been studied for decades to
understand the symbiotic relationship between legumes and soil bacteria collectively named …

Establishing mutualistic relationships between plants and fungi is crucial for overcoming
nutrient deficiencies in plants. This review highlights the intricate nutrient sensing and …

Plant-microorganism interactions at the rhizosphere level have a major impact on plant
growth and plant tolerance and/or resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Of particular …
