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

BACKGROUND Among the extensive cortège of plant-associated microorganisms (the so-
called plant microbiota), mutualistic fungal and bacterial symbionts are striking examples of …

To secure phosphorus (P) from soil, most land plants use a direct phosphate uptake
pathway via root hairs and epidermis and an indirect phosphate uptake pathway via …

Symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) improves plant nutrition in most land
plants, and its contribution to the colonization of land by plants has been hypothesized …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbioses contribute to global carbon cycles as plant hosts
divert up to 20% of photosynthate to the obligate biotrophic fungi. Previous studies …

Plants are the foundation of terrestrial ecosystems, and their colonization of land was
probably facilitated by mutualistic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Following …

Regulatory response and interaction of Bradyrhizobium and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(AMF) play a vital role in rhizospheric soil processes and productivity of soybean (Glycine …

Plants have lived in close association with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi for over 400
million years. Today, this endosymbiosis occurs broadly in the plant kingdom where it has a …

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

Colonization of land by plants was a major transition on Earth, but the developmental and
genetic innovations required for this transition remain unknown. Physiological studies and …
