Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi conducting the hyphosphere bacterial orchestra
More than two-thirds of terrestrial plants acquire nutrients by forming a symbiosis with
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. AM fungal hyphae recruit distinct microbes into their …

A trait-based framework to understand life history of mycorrhizal fungi
Despite the growing appreciation for the functional diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi, our understanding of the causes and consequences of this diversity is still poor. In this …

Agricultural management and pesticide use reduce the functioning of beneficial plant symbionts
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 …

Plant root and mycorrhizal fungal traits for understanding soil aggregation
Soil aggregation is a key ecosystem process resulting in the formation and stabilization of
soil structure, consisting of soil aggregates and the resulting matrix of pore spaces. As such …

Drought accentuates the role of mycorrhiza in phosphorus uptake
D Püschel, M Bitterlich, J Rydlová, J Jansa - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2021 - Elsevier
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) greatly facilitate uptake of phosphorus (P) by most plant
species. Whether or how this changes if water becomes limiting remained little explored …

Belowground biodiversity effects of plant symbionts support aboveground productivity
Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 1001–1009 Abstract Soil microbes play key roles in ecosystems,
yet the impact of their diversity on plant communities is still poorly understood. Here we …

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 …

Acquisition of phosphorus and other poorly mobile nutrients by roots. Where do plant nutrition models fail?
Background In the context of increasing global food demand, ecological intensification of
agroecosystems is required to increase nutrient use efficiency in plants while decreasing …
