Arbuscular mycorrhiza is the most common form of symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant. The fungal hyphae penetrate plant cells and develop branching ...
Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A gene mutation in Medicago truncatula enhances plant root partnerships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi, improving nutrient uptake ...
Researchers have discovered a biological mechanism that makes plant roots more welcoming to beneficial soil microbes. This discovery by John Innes Centre researchers paves the way for more ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play vital roles in the growth and development of plants, ecosystem sustainability, and stability in agroecosystem, such as transporting nutrients to host plants, ...
Researchers at the Bayreuth Center for Ecology and Environmental Research (BayCEER) at the University of Bayreuth have found ...
The use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and phosphate-solubilizing fungi (PSF) has been recommended, but the results derived from their application are inconsistent and uncertain, depending on ...
To estimate the extent of arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) fungi colonization, we collected fresh fine roots (1-2 mm diameter) from the same plants used for functional trait measurements. We sampled 10 to ...
In this study, which appears in Nature, experiments showed that the gene mutation in a calcium signaling pathway enhances endosymbiosis in farming conditions. Excitingly, the team used genetic ...
Modern agriculture’s critical challenge is to feed a growing global population while reducing the environmental footprint of ...
Nuclear calcium oscillations initiate plant–arbuscular mycorrhiza and nitrogen-fixing bacteria symbioses for nutrient acquisition, with a newly discovered autoactive CNGC15 mutant enhancing ...
Dr Harry Langford, Head of Sustainability at the UK Agri-Tech Centre, highlights the role of soil health in agriculture.
