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 …

Mycorrhizal symbioses between plants and fungi are vital for the soil structure, nutrient
cycling, plant diversity, and ecosystem sustainability. More than 250 000 plant species are …

Phosphorus (P) acquisition is key for plant growth. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) help
plants acquire P from soil. Understanding which factors drive AMF-supported nutrient uptake …

The association between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) affects plant
performance and ecosystem functioning. Recent studies have identified AMF-associated …

Over the past decade, research has shown that microorganisms living on and inside
eukaryotes—the microbiota—are drivers of host health. For plants, microbiota can greatly …

Drought stress is an alarming constraint to plant growth, development, and productivity
worldwide. However, plant-associated bacteria, fungi, and viruses can enhance stress …
