We explore recent methodological advancements in single cell technologies to unravel the spatio-temporal dynamics of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, focu

A new TUM method reveals how plant roots and mycorrhizal fungi interact in soil, offering insights for climate-resilient and drought-tolerant crops.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi trade soil phosphate for plant carbon at arbuscules, the short-lived, branched hyphal structures they build inside root cortical cells, but how phosphate uptake is…

Mycorrhizal symbiosis improves the nutrition of most land plants and plays key roles in nutrient cycling and ecosystem function. To understand and leverage the biology of mycorrhizal symbioses for su...

Plants interact with a plethora of organisms in the rhizosphere, with outcomes that range from detrimental to beneficial. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is the most ubiquitous beneficial plant ...

Abiotic factors influence the global distribution of mycorrhizal host plants (ectomycorrhizal fungi and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi), raising the possibility that dual associations with both mycorrh...
