Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are key organisms in viticultural ecosystems as they provide many ecosystem services to soils and plants. Data about AMF community dynamics over time are relatively scarce and at short time scales. Many factors such as the soil, climate, and agricultural practices could modify the dynamics and functions of microbial communities. However, the effects on microbial communities of plant phenology and changes in plant physiology over time largely have been overlooked. We analyzed the diversity of AMF in three geographically close vineyards with similar soil parameters for 2 years. The plots differed in grapevine age (11, 36, and 110 years), but had the same soil management practice (horse tillage). Diversity analyses revealed a difference in the composition of AMF communities between the soil and grapevine roots and among roots of grapevines of different ages. This underlines AMF adaptation to physiological changes in the host which can explain the development of different AMF communities. The dynamics of AMF communities can highlight their resilience to environmental changes and agricultural practices.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the most widespread plant symbionts associated with plant roots, and theyperform numerous functions that contribute to plants' health and physiology. However, there are many knowledge gaps in how the interactions between AMF and root mycobiomes influence the performance of the host plants. To this end, we inoculated a local chickpea cultivar grown in agricultural soil under semi-controlled conditions with Rhizophagus irregularis.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are promoted as commercial bioinoculants for sustainable agriculture. Little is known, however, about the survival of AMF inoculants in soil and their impacts on native or pre-established AMF communities in root tissue. The current study was designed to assess the stability of pre-existing/nursery-derived AMF in apple rootstocks after being planted into soil containing a known community of AMF with a limited number of species.

Objectives: To describe member adherence to a mail-based, health insurer-sponsored gap closure program for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening using multi-target stool DNA (mt-sDNA; Cologuard) tests.
Methods: Combined patient data from Exact Sciences Laboratories LLC and data from mass-mailed mt-sDNA orders placed by a large Medicare Advantage Insurance Plan were analyzed (03/01/2023-06/30/2023). Adherence and time to test return were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal interactions and nutrient supply mediate floral trait variation and pollinator visitation.

Article Synopsis
- Floral traits like flower size and nectar/pollen rewards are crucial for attracting pollinators, but these traits can vary due to environmental factors and soil conditions.
- Research shows that diverse arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can improve floral displays and rewards, leading to increased bee visitation, as larger flowers attract more bees.
- However, there's a trade-off, as enhanced flower size from AMF may reduce root colonization, indicating that soil microbial interactions significantly influence both plant traits and pollinator behavior.
Soil amendments altered arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in cadmium-contaminated vegetable fields.

Soil amendments, including various types of fertilizers, are often used to control the uptake of heavy metals such as cadmium in cropping fields. The influence of these amendments on other members of the agroecosystem, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), remains less well investigated. Here, we established an experiment with the application of woody peat organic fertilizer and phosphate rock powder to examine its effects on AMF communities in two cadmium-contaminated vegetable crop fields (cucumber and pepper).
