Despite this, relatively little is known about the effect of mycorrhizal symbiosis on host plant reproduction. Common limitations to reproduction include nutrient deficiency, herbivory and disease. Mycorrhizal fungi may influence all three. Different host species may vary in their response to infection ...
Most plants, for example, form symbioses with mycorrhizal fungi, whose limited dispersal to islands could act as a colonization filter for plants. We tested this hypothesis using global-scale analyses of ~1.4 million plant occurrences, including ~200,000 plant species across ~1,100 regions. We...
Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AMs) are a unique example of symbiosis between two eukaryotes, soil fungi and plants. This association induces important physiological changes in each partner that lead to reciprocal benefits, mainly in nutrient supply. The symbiosis results from modifications in plant and fungal...
Mycorrhizal symbiosis between soil fungi and land plants is one of the most widespread and ecologically important mutualisms on earth. It has long been hypothesized that the Glomeromycotina, the mycorrhizal symbionts of the majority of plants, facilitate
Legumes utilize a common signaling pathway to form symbiotic associations both with rhizobial bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The perception of ... BK Riely,G Lougnon,JM Ané,... - 《Plant Journal》 被引量: 254发表: 2007年 加载更多研究点推荐 Mycorrhizal Symbiosis Plant–Fungus Interac...
fungi are poorly understood. Virtually all studies to date have concentrated on demonstrating the presence and form of elemental transport from soil to plant via the fungal hyphae. As a result, there is little quantitative work on the mechanisms regulating the transport of resources among fungi. ...

The term mycorrhiza is rooted from two Greek words myco meaning fungi and Rrhiza meaning root and its' meaning in reality means symbiosis between a fungus and root. Mycorrhiza is described as a mutual sharing of life; whereby the fungal is the major partner of the plant has the duty to su...
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are one of the most important groups of plant symbionts. These fungi provide mineral nutrients to plants in exchange for carbon. Although substantial amounts of resources are exchanged, the factors that regulate trade in the AM symbiosis are poorly understood. Recen...
However, the extent to which ectomycorrhizal fungi make use of their secreted plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) and microbial cell wall degrading enzymes (MCWDE) to decay or decompose SOM is not well understood17–24. Despite their ecological prominence, much remains to be learned about...
