Localized nutrient supply can induce maize (Zea mays L.) root proliferation, and then
promote nutrient uptake. Yet, how maize plants adjust root morphology, physiology and …

Nitrogen (N) is a main nutrient limiting plant growth in most terrestrial ecosystems, but so far
it remains unknown which role plant N uptake plays for the positive relationship between …

In the quest to reveal the mechanisms of yield decline during the late growth stage of tree
plantations, there remains a knowledge gap regarding the changes of the fine root nutrient …

Aim Soil microbial legacy is a potentially important regulator of the associations of plants
and mycorrhizal fungi. However, our understanding of how plant performance and root …

Below‐ground plastic responses to soil nutrient 'hot‐spots' form a key nutrient foraging
strategy of plants coexisting in natural ecosystems. However, it is unclear how plant species …

The aggravation of soil salinization limits the growth and development of plants. The
AP2/ERF transcription factors (TFs) have been identified and play essential roles in plant …

The water deficits limit the growth and development of agricultural and forest organisms. The
AP2/ethylene response factor (ERF) family has been identified as one of the largest plant …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form ubiquitous symbioses with terrestrial plants in
different ecosystems and provide a variety of benefits including improved drought tolerance …

To better understand the ecology of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, we need to
measure functional traits of individual fungal virtual taxa under field conditions. The …

MYB transcription factors (TF) are recognized as significant regulators in facilitating plant
adaptation to various biotic and abiotic stresses. In order to elucidate the involvement of …
