Strains of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Rhizophagus irregularis belong to one of two nuclear organizations: homokaryons, which carry genetically similar nuclei, and dikaryons, which harbour ...

Mycorrhizal fungi form hyphal networks for water and solute transport between soil and plant roots. Trait-based research on these organisms typically focuses on spores and resource exchange structure...

Invasive plant species threaten biodiversity and ecosystem stability, yet their impacts on soil invertebrate communities remain understudied globally.…

Plants have evolved an assortment of chemical adaptations that integrate environmental cues with developmental processes to regulate growth and reproduction. A subset of these phytochemicals may be c....

Many tree species form dual mycorrhizal symbioses, arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) and ectomycorrhizae (EM), especially at the seedling stage, but the effect of soil nutrient availability in shaping these...

In arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, only c. 370 species have been formally described despite these fungal organisms having coevolved with plants for hundreds of millions of years. In contrast to th...
