The rhizosphere encompasses the millimeters of soil surrounding a plant root where
complex biological and ecological processes occur. This review describes recent advances …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential plant nutrient and one of the most limiting in natural habitats
as well as in agricultural production world‐wide. The control of P acquisition efficiency and …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses are formed by approximately 80% of vascular plant
species in all major terrestrial biomes. In consequence an understanding of their functions is …

Many microorganisms form symbioses with plants that range, on a continuous scale, from
parasitic to mutualistic. Among these, the most widespread mutualistic symbiosis is the …

Most terrestrial plants form arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), mutualistic associations with soil
fungi of the order Glomeromycota. The obligate biotrophic fungi trade mineral nutrients …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …

In natural ecosystems, the roots of many plants exist in association with arbuscular
mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, and the resulting symbiosis has profound effects on the plant. The …

The CLAVATA3/embryo-surrounding region (CLE) peptides control the fine balance
between proliferation and differentiation in plant development. We studied the role of CLE …

Studying heavy metal hyperaccumulation is becoming more and more interesting for
ecological, evolutionary, nutritional, and environmental reasons. One model species …

Research on legume nodule development has contributed greatly to our current
understanding of plant–microbe interactions. However, the factors that orchestrate root …
