Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is a mutualistic interaction between fungi and most
land plants that is underpinned by a bidirectional exchange of nutrients. AM development is …

Plants are hubs of organismic interactions. They constantly engage in beneficial or
competitive interactions with fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, insects, nematodes, and other …

Introduction Owing to challenges in the study of complex rhizosphere and endophytic
microbial communities, the composition and function of such microbial communities in …

The roots of plants play multiple functions that are essential for growth and development,
including anchoring to the soil as well as water and nutrient acquisition. These underground …

Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that can change their position within
genomes. TEs are present in most organisms and can be an important genomic component …

Soil is a complex ecosystem that houses microbes and nutrients that are necessary for plant
development. Edaphic properties of the soil and environmental conditions influence …

Positive effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)—wheat plant symbiosis have been
well discussed by research, while the actual role of the single wheat genotype in …

Transposable element activity can be harmful to the host's genome integrity, but it can also
provide selective advantages. One strategy to cope with transposons is epigenetic control …

Cover crops can be a useful tool for managing plant-parasitic nematodes provided they are
poor or non-hosts for the target nematode species. A glasshouse experiment was done to …

Plants can communicate with each other and other living organisms in a very sophisticated
manner. They use biological molecules and even physical cues to establish a molecular …
