Journal ArticleDOI

Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation and the Challenges to Its Extension to Nonlegumes

TL;DR: In this article, a minireview highlights the fundamental advances in our understanding of biological nitrogen fixation in the context of a blueprint for expanding symbiotic nitrogen fixation to a greater diversity of crop plants through synthetic biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of mycorrhizal associations in plant potassium nutrition

TL;DR: A model summarizing plant and fungal transport systems identified and hypothetically involved in K+ transport is proposed and some data related to benefits for plants provided by the improvement of K+ nutrition thanks to mycorrhizal symbioses are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Take a Trip Through the Plant and Fungal Transportome of Mycorrhiza

TL;DR: Recent progress on molecular players of membrane transport involved in nutritional exchanges between mycorrhizal plants and fungi are reviewed, from the transport proteins involved in sugar fluxes from plants towards fungi, to the uptake from the soil and exchange of nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, sulfate, and water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular signals required for the establishment and maintenance of ectomycorrhizal symbioses

TL;DR: Current knowledge on the early and late signal exchanges between woody plants and ECM fungi is summarized, and future directions for decoding the molecular basis of the underground dance between trees and their favorite fungal partners are suggested.
