The association between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) affects plant
performance and ecosystem functioning. Recent studies have identified AMF-associated …

Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐
ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …

Plants can no longer be considered as standalone entities and a more holistic perception is
needed. Indeed, plants harbor a wide diversity of microorganisms both inside and outside …

Many recent studies have demonstrated that non-pathogenic fungi within plant microbiomes,
ie, endophytes (“endo”= within,“phyte”= plant), can significantly modify the expression of …

Plants interact with diverse microbial communities and share complex relationships with
each other. The intimate association between microbes and their host mutually benefit each …

Hemipterans (such as aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers) are some of the most devastating
insect pests due to the numerous plant pathogens they transmit as vectors, which are …

Root systems of most land plants form arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses in the field,
and these contribute to nutrient uptake. AM roots have two pathways for nutrient absorption …

Plants and their arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbionts interact in complex underground
networks involving multiple partners. This increases the potential for exploitation and …

Adaptive behaviour of plants, including rapid changes in physiology, gene regulation and
defence response, can be altered when linked to neighbouring plants by a mycorrhizal …

Plant functional traits control a variety of terrestrial ecosystem processes, including soil
carbon storage which is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Plant traits regulate net …
