Zinc (Zn) shortage is a common micronutrient deficiency affecting plants worldwide, while Zn toxicity may occur when this metal is in excess. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are known to be able to modulate the transfer of macro- and microelements, among them Zn, to the plant. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood.

All plant populations fluctuate in time. Apart from the dynamics imposed by external forces such as climate, these fluctuations can be driven by endogenous processes taking place within the community. In this study, we aimed to identify potential role of soil-borne microbial communities in driving endogenous fluctuations of plant populations.

A dual regulatory role for the arbuscular mycorrhizal master regulator RAM1 in tomato.

The REQUIRED FOR ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZATION1 (RAM1) transcription factor from the GRAS family is well known for its role as a master regulator of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis in dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous species, being essential in transcriptional reprogramming for the development and functionality of the arbuscules. In tomato, SlGRAS27 is the putative orthologue of RAM1 (here named SlRAM1), but has not yet been characterized. A reduced colonization of the root and impaired arbuscule formation were observed in SlRAM1-silenced plants, confirming the functional conservation of the RAM1 orthologue in tomato.

Effects of warming on soil organic carbon pools mediated by mycorrhizae and hyphae on the Eastern Tibetan Plateau, China.

Mycorrhizae and their hyphae play critical roles in soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation. However, their individual contributions to SOC components and stability under climate warming conditions remain unclear. This study investigated the effects of warming on the SOC pools of Picea asperata (an ectomycorrhizal plant) and Fargesia nitida (an arbuscular mycorrhizal plant) mycorrhizae/hyphae on the eastern Tibetan Plateau.

Salinity is an increasing problem in coastal areas affected by saltwater intrusion, with deleterious effects on tree health and forest growth. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi may improve the salinity tolerance of host trees, but the impact of external potassium (K ) availability on these effects is still unclear. Here, we performed several experiments with the ECM fungus Paxillus ammoniavirescens and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.
