Article Synopsis
  • Legumes form partnerships with AM fungi and rhizobia to enhance their nutrient intake, using specific structures in their roots for effective exchange.
  • The research focuses on Medicago truncatula, revealing that MtAnn1 protein plays a critical role in the formation of cytoplasmic cell bridges for rhizobia entry, influencing calcium signaling and infection success.
  • MtAnn1 not only contributes to rhizobia symbiosis but is also essential for arbuscule development in AM fungi, indicating its importance in ancient calcium-regulatory mechanisms for symbiotic infections.

The role of diverse soil microbiota in restoring erosion-induced degraded lands is well recognized. Yet, the facilitative interactions among symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, rhizobia, and heterotrophic bacteria, which underpin multiple functions in eroded ecosystems, remain unclear. Here, we utilized quantitative microbiota profiling and ecological network analyses to explore the interplay between the diversity and biotic associations of root-associated microbiota and multifunctionality across an eroded slope of a plantation on the Loess Plateau.

Molecular identification of micro- and macroorganisms based on nuclear markers has revolutionized our understanding of their taxonomy, phylogeny and ecology. Today, research on the diversity of eukaryotes in global ecosystems heavily relies on nuclear ribosomal RNA (rRNA) markers. Here, we present the research community-curated reference database EUKARYOME for nuclear ribosomal 18S rRNA, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 28S rRNA markers for all eukaryotes, including metazoans (animals), protists, fungi and plants.

Interactions between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), plants, and the soil microbial community have the potential to increase the availability and uptake of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) in agricultural systems. Nutrient exchange between plant roots, AMF, and the adjacent soil microbes occurs at the interface between roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi and soil, referred to as the mycorrhizosphere. Research on the P exchange focuses on plant-AMF or AMF-microbe interactions, lacking a holistic view of P exchange between the plants, AMF, and other microbes.
