Journal ArticleDOI
Host-Dependent Sporulation and Species Diversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in a Mown Grassland
TL;DR: Spore counts in field soil and estimates from sorghum trap cultures showed that the association of AM fungi with particular host plants in the field was positively correlated with the sporulation rates observed on those hosts in the microcosm experiments, suggesting host-dependent differences in fungal growth rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mycorrhizal Symbioses and Plant Invasions
Anne Pringle,James D. Bever,Monique Gardes,Jeri L. Parrent,Matthias C. Rillig,John N. Klironomos +5 more
TL;DR: A conceptual framework for considering mycorrhizal symbioses in plant species invasions is developed and it is shown that aspects of this symbiosis can critically influence the trajectory of a plant invasion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial population and community dynamics on plant roots and their feedbacks on plant communities.
TL;DR: Incorporating a full view of microbial dynamics is essential to explaining the dynamics of plant-soil feedbacks and therefore plant community ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preferential allocation to beneficial symbiont with spatial structure maintains mycorrhizal mutualism.
TL;DR: This work demonstrates preferential allocation of photosynthate by host plants to the more beneficial of two AM fungal symbionts and suggests that preferential allocation within spatially structured microbial communities can stabilize mutualisms between plants and root symbiont.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi: More Diverse than Meets the Eye, and the Ecological Tale of Why
TL;DR: Research on the ecology of interactions between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and the importance of AM fungi in the facilitation of plants' uptake of phosphorus is presented.
