Some bacterial strains isolated from the plant rhizosphere showed high root-colonizing ability and antiphytopathogenic activity against 6 fungal species. The antifungal activity was species-specific, which could be accounted for by the fact that the isolates differed in the ability to produce lytic enzymes (chitinases, proteases, and lipases) and to secrete cyanide. The possibility of using there rhizobacteria to control phytopathogens is discussed.

Root-colonizing fungi, such as mycorrhizal fungi and dark septate endophyte fungi, are often found on pioneer plant species during early primary succession. However, little is known about which fungal species are responsible for the establishment of pioneer plants when these symbionts colonize simultaneously. We investigated the root-colonizing fungal communities of Pinus thunbergii that established prior to lichens, bryophytes, and short-lived herbaceous plants in a primary successional volcanic mudflow site on Kuchinoerabu Island, Japan.

Fungal endophytes can improve plant tolerance to abiotic stress conditions. Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) belong to phylogenetically non-related groups of root colonizing fungi among the Ascomycota with high melanin-producing activities. They can be isolated from roots of more than 600 plant species in diverse ecosystems.

, a plant root-colonizing basidiomycete fungus, exhibits strong growth-promoting activity in symbiosis with a broad range of plants. Here, we report the potential of to improve growth, yield, and disease resistance in wheat in the field. In the present study, successfully colonized wheat through chlamydospores and formed dense mycelial networks that covered roots.

The root-associated microbiome (rhizobiome) affects plant health, stress tolerance, and nutrient use efficiency. However, it remains unclear to what extent the composition of the rhizobiome is governed by intraspecific variation in host plant genetics in the field and the degree to which host plant selection can reshape the composition of the rhizobiome. Here, we quantify the rhizosphere microbial communities associated with a replicated diversity panel of 230 maize (.
