Some fungal accessory chromosomes(ACs)may contribute to virulence in plants.However,the mecha-nisms by which ACs determine specific traits associated with lifestyle transitions along a symbiotic contin-uum are not cle...

Legumes,unlike most land plants,can form symbiotic root nodules with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to secure nitrogen for growth.The formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on legume roots requires the coordination of rhizobi...

Mycorrhizal and N-fixing root symbioses evolved at two points in the past when global CO_(2)was highest,consistent with the high demand these symbioses place on host C.Trees hosting both mycorrhiza and N-fixing bacter...

Fungus-growing termites are among the most successful herbivorous animals and improve crop productivity and soil fertility.A range of symbiotic organisms can be found inside their nests.However,interactions of termite...

Microbial associates are widespread in insects,some conferring a protection to their hosts against natural enemies like parasitoids.These protective symbionts may affect the infection success of the parasitoid by modi...
The majority of terrestrial plants form some type of mycorrhizal symbiosis.This established symbiosis therefore exists in most commercially important crops, which includes cotton.Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus(AMF) can...
Fungi other than the lichen mycobiont frequently co-occur within lichen thalli and on the same rock in harsh environments.In these situations dark-pigmented mycelial structures are commonly observed on lichen thalli,w...
New roles for the recently identified group of plant hormones, the strigolactones, are currently under active investigation. One of their key roles is to regulate plant symbioses. These compounds act as a rhizosphere ...

Because plants are sessile organisms,the ability to adapt to a wide range of environmental conditions is critical for their survival.As a consequence,plants use hormones to regulate growth,mitigate biotic and abiotic ...
