Plants encounter a myriad of microorganisms, particularly at the root–soil interface, that can
invade with detrimental or beneficial outcomes. Prevalent beneficial associations between …

Plants associate with a wide range of microorganisms, with both detrimental and beneficial
outcomes. Central to plant survival is the ability to recognize invading microorganisms and …

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

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is a root endosymbiosis between plants and glomeromycete
fungi. It is the most widespread terrestrial plant symbiosis, improving plant uptake of water …

The primary objective of this study was to identify the molecular signals present in
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) germinated spore exudates (GSE s) responsible for activating …

Plants associate with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi facilitating nutrient acquisition.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi produce chitooligosaccharides (COs) and lipo …

Bacteria belonging to the genera Rhizobium, Mesorhizobium, Sinorhizobium,
Bradyrhizobium, and Azorhizobium (collectively referred to as rhizobia) grow in the soil as …

Without roots there would be no rhizosphere and no rhizodeposition to fuel microbial activity.
Although micro-organisms may view roots merely as a source of carbon supply this belies …

The formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on legumes requires an integration of infection by
rhizobia at the root epidermis and the initiation of cell division in the cortex, several cell …

Although most higher plants establish a symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,
symbiotic nitrogen fixation with rhizobia is a salient feature of legumes. Despite this host …
