When phosphorus levels are low, mycorrhizae outcompete root hairs in maize
The two adaptations both aid in nutrient uptake, but may work against each other
Terpenoid transfer across mycorrhizal networks strengthens host plant resistance
Plants, though sessile, employ various strategies to defend themselves against herbivorous insects. The production of terpenoids, and formation of symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) are two...

Pathways of water flow in mycorrhizal plants
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis regulates root hydraulic properties, but it is not clear whether this involves the cell-to-cell or the apoplastic pathway. Bárzana et al. show that roots of AM plants of maize and...
