Feedback between plants and soil microbial communities can be a powerful driver of
vegetation dynamics. Plants elicit changes in the soil microbiome that either promote or …

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

Here, the coevolution of mycorrhizal fungi and roots is assessed in the light of evidence now
available, from palaeobotanical and morphological studies and the analysis of DNA‐based …

The term mycorrhiza is used to describe a broad range of mutualistic associations formed
between plant roots and fungi. Such associations exist in the majority of land plant species …

Many plants have the capacity to obtain phosphate via a symbiotic association with
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. In AM associations, the fungi release phosphate from …

ABSTRACT Piriformospora indica (Hymenomycetes, Basidiomycota) is a newly described
cultivable endophyte that colonizes roots. Inoculation with the fungus and application of …

Many microorganisms form symbioses with plants that range, on a continuous scale, from
parasitic to mutualistic. Among these, the most widespread mutualistic symbiosis is the …

For more than 400 million years, plants have maintained a mutualistic symbiosis with
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. This evolutionary success can be traced to the role of …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …

The present status of research on the molecular basis of microbe–plant interactions is
discussed. Principles and mechanisms which play a role in the interactions of microbial …
