Cell walls are deeply involved in the molecular talk between partners during plant and
microbe interactions, and their role in mycorrhizae, ie, the widespread symbiotic …

Expansins are small proteins that loosen plant cell walls and cellulosic materials without lytic
activity. First discovered in plants, expansin genes are found in the genomes of numerous …

The new paradigm in agriculture, sustainable intensification, is focusing back onto beneficial
soil microorganisms, for the role played in reducing the input of chemical fertilizers and …

Expansins are cell wall loosening agents, known for their endogenous function in cell wall
extensibility. The A rabidopsis expansin‐like A 2 (EXLA 2) gene was identified by its down …

Arbuscular mycorrhizas contribute significantly to inorganic phosphate (P i) uptake in plants.
Gene networks involved in the regulation and function of the P ht1 family transporters in …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is the most widespread association
between plant roots and fungi in natural and agricultural ecosystems. This work investigated …

There is an increasing global need for enhancing the food production to meet the needs of
the fast-growing human population. Traditional approach to increasing agricultural …

Most land plants can establish symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to increase
fitness to environmental challenges. The development of AM symbiosis is controlled by …

Background Expansins are proteins that loosen plant cell walls in a pH-dependent manner,
probably by increasing the relative movement among polymers thus causing irreversible …

Key message The growth-promotion of rice seedling following inoculation with
Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 was a cumulative outcome of elevated expression of genes that …
