The rhizosphere microbiome: significance of plant beneficial, plant pathogenic, and human pathogenic microorganisms. (2013, background): “…al., 2010; Adeleke et al., 2012; Johnson & Graham, 2013), for soil physical structuring and generating stable soil aggregates (Degens et al., 1996; Miller & Jastrow, 2000), and for suppression of soilborne plant pathogens (Whipps, 2001; Pozo & Azcon-Aguilar, 2007) is well recognized and…”
An AM fungus and a PGPR intensify the adverse effects of salinity on the stability of rhizosphere soil aggregates of Lactuca sativa (2010, background): “Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi primarily influence the stability of macroaggregates (>250 mm), which they are hypothesised to help stabilise via hyphal enmeshment aggregates (Miller and Jastrow, 2000) and by deposition of organic substances (Bearden and Petersen, 2000).”
Disentangling the impact of AM fungi versus roots on soil structure and water transport (2008, background): “Most argue that the primary mechanism of soil stabilisation by AM fungi is the physical enmeshment of soil particles by extensive networks of hyphae (Tisdall and Oades 1982, Thomas et al. 1993; Andrade et al. 1998; Bearden and Petersen 2000; Miller and Jastrow 2000).”
Arbuscular mycorrhizae and soil/plant water relations (2004, background): “They create conditions conducive to formation of microaggregates, and they chemically enmesh and stabilize microaggregates and smaller macroaggregates into macroaggregate structures (Miller and Jastrow 2000).”
The contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in sustainable maintenance of plant health and soil fertility (2002, background): “The important role of the soil mycelium of mycorrhizal fungal mycelium in the formation of water-stable soil aggregates is well documented (Andrade et al. 1998; Bethlenfalvay et al. 1999; Miller and Jastrow 2000).”
Microbial co-operation in the rhizosphere. (2005, background): “The role of AM is accounted for by the size, branching habits and threedimensional structure of the external mycelium colonizing the soil surrounding the roots, an activity that can persist up to 22 weeks after the plant has died (Miller and Jastrow, 2000).”
Effects of long-term land use on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and glomalin-related soil protein (2007, background): “AMF are important soil organisms, fundamental for plant nutrition and soil fertility (Smith and Read, 1997) and represent a living bridge for the translocation of nutrients from soil to plant roots and of carbon from plant roots to the soil (Miller and Jastrow, 2000; Zhu and Miller, 2003).”
Maize drought tolerance: Potential improvements through arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis?
