Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis occurs between obligate biotrophic fungi of the
phylum Glomeromycota and most land plants. The exchange of nutrients between host …

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 …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form mutualistic symbioses with c. two-
thirds of all land plants. Traditionally, it was thought that they played no role in nitrogen (N) …

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 …

Nitrogen (N) is the most abundant mineral nutrient required by plants, and crop productivity
depends heavily on N fertilization in many soils. Production and application of N fertilizers …

Progress towards understanding the extent to which mycorrhizal fungi are involved in the
mobilization of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from natural substrates is reviewed here …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (order Glomales), which form mycorrhizal symbioses with two
out of three of all plant species, are believed to be obligate biotrophs that are wholly …

Most plants living in tropical acid soils depend on the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis
for mobilizing low-accessible phosphorus (P), due to its strong bonding by iron (Fe) oxides …

Phosphorus and nitrogen are essential nutrient elements that are needed by plants in large
amounts. The arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis between plants and soil fungi improves …

Abstract The Green Revolution of the mid-20th century transformed agriculture worldwide
and has resulted in environmental challenges. A new approach, the Second Green …
