Most land plants live in association with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and rely on this
symbiosis to scavenge phosphorus (P) from soil. The ability to establish this partnership has …

Mycorrhizal symbioses between plants and fungi are vital for the soil structure, nutrient
cycling, plant diversity, and ecosystem sustainability. More than 250 000 plant species are …
