Ruminants including domestic livestock, have been accused of causing damaging impacts
on the global environment and human well-being. However, with appropriate management …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is among the most ubiquitous plant mutualists that

Rhizobia–legume symbiosis is an important type of plant–microbe mutualism; however, the
establishment of this association is complicated and can be affected by many factors. The …

C and N are the most important essential elements constituting organic compounds in
plants. The shoots and roots depend on each other by exchanging C and N through the …

Stomata regulate rates of carbon assimilation and water loss. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
symbioses often modify stomatal behavior and therefore play pivotal roles in plant …
