Carbon flow in the rhizosphere: carbon trading at the soil–root interface

Underground signals carried through common mycelial networks warn neighbouring plants of aphid attack

Z Babikova, L Gilbert, TJA Bruce, M Birkett… - Ecology …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The roots of most land plants are colonised by mycorrhizal fungi that provide mineral
nutrients in exchange for carbon. Here, we show that mycorrhizal mycelia can also act as a …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza: advances and retreats in our understanding of the ecological functioning of the mother of all root symbioses

TW Kuyper, J Jansa - Plant and Soil, 2023 - Springer
Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis has been referred to as the mother of all
plant root symbioses as it predated the evolution of plant roots. The AM research is a …
