The effect of mycorrhizal infection on root exudation and the survival and physiological status of a bioluminescent fluorescent pseudomonad on the roots of pepper was examined. Pepper plants were ...

Vol. 407, No. 1/2, Part I: Special Issue: Advances in the Rhizosphere: Stretching the Interface of Life (October 2016), pp. 279-292 (14 pages) Background and aims In oligotrophic ecosystems efficient ...

In the soils of most ecosystems around the world, mycorrhizal fungal communities form intimate relationships with the roots of the plants above them, exchanging nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen ...

Medicago truncatula root colonized with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, Diversispora epigaea. D. epigaea hyphae and arbuscules within the root and also hyphae around the root are visible as green ...

Scientists made the first detailed global maps of mycorrhizal fungal networks by analyzing DNA from 25,000 soil samples worldwide, showing where these fungi that partner with most plants are most ...

Researchers have found that mycorrhizas promote greater tree species diversity in North American forests. Fungi, specifically those that are "mycorrhizal," are natural allies of the forest because ...

Mycorrhizal fungi are responsible for holding up to 36 per cent of yearly global fossil fuel emissions below ground -- more than China emits each year. Fungi stores a third of carbon from fossil fuel ...

Underground fungal networks are “living algorithms” that quietly help regulate Earth’s climate. Now scientists know what makes them so efficient. Underground fungal networks are “living algorithms” ...
