New advances in plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria for bioremediation. (2007, background): “Besides symbiotic bacteria, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiotic relationships with 80–90% land plants (Brundrett, 2002).”
The distribution of below‐ground traits is explained by intrinsic species differences and intraspecific plasticity in response to root neighbours (2013, background): “Although there are clearly canalized differences between plant lineages in root traits (Baylis 1975; Brundrett 2002), roots are also highly plastic and interactive organs, capable of responding physiologically and morphologically to both biotic and abiotic factors (Hodge 2004; Wijesinghe, John & Hut”
The evolutionary implications of exploitation in mycorrhizas (2004, background): “Neighbourhood interactions have been argued to apply in mycorrhizal hosts that have large seeds that limit dispersal, because progeny establish close to their parents and are thus more likely to be colonized by their parents’ mycorrhizal assemblage (Wilkinson 1997; Brundrett 2002).”
Species‐ and community‐level patterns in fine root traits along a 120 000‐year soil chronosequence in temperate rain forest (2011, background): “Large-diameter roots may be favoured because of their ability to rapidly penetrate a large soil volume (Eissenstat 1992) and their increased cortex volume available for mycorrhizal colonization (Brundrett 2002).”
A meta-analysis of context-dependency in plant response to inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi. (2010, background): “Our results suggest that phylogenetic analyses of mycorrhizal responsiveness of plant species (Brundrett 2002) may be increasingly informative, as more data become available on mycorrhizal responsiveness of less studied plant taxa (Brundrett 2009).”
Climate and soil nutrients differentially drive multidimensional fine root traits in ectomycorrhizal‐dominated alpine coniferous forests (2020, background): “…an important mycorrhizal type typically dominating in nutrient-poor and harsh environments with greater root branching and higher RTD than AM roots (Brundrett, 2002; Comas & Eissenstat, 2009; Kong et al., 2019; Lin, McCormack, Ma, & Guo, 2017; Valverde-Barrantes, Smemo, Feinstein, Kershner, &…”
Hidden fungi, emergent properties: endophytes and microbiomes. (2011, background): “Functional mycorrhizal fungi, however, are explicitly excluded, as they are specialized for nutrient transfer from sources outside of the root (24) and are phylogenetically distinct from most groups of endophytes (9, 123).”
Very fine roots respond to soil depth: biomass allocation, morphology, and physiology in a broad-leaved temperate forest (2010, background): “The ectomycorrhizal roots had smaller diameter and cortex area than arbuscular roots, which probably reflects the advantage of arbuscular fungi in roots that have greater cortex area (Brundrett 2002).”
Variation of first‐order root traits across climatic gradients and evolutionary trends in geological time (2013, positive): “Indeed, thicker roots usually have both a higher cortex area which is preferred by AM fungi (Brundrett, 2002) and larger vessels (D.”
Balancing multiple mutualists: asymmetric interactions among plants, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and fungal endophytes (2008, background): “Like endophytes, AMF can receive shelter and nutrients (mainly carbon) from the plant host (Smith and Read 1997, Brundrett 2002).”
Multiple phosphorus acquisition strategies adopted by fine roots in low-fertility soils in Central Amazonia (2019, background): “Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form associations within root cortical cells only, and for this reason, root diameter does not necessarily represent an appropriate proxy for mycorrhizal colonisation (Brundrett 2002; Comas et al. 2014; Guo et al. 2008).”
Towards a multidimensional root trait framework: a tree root review. (2016, background): “…to be more dependent on and responsive to arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis than species with thinner roots, because these roots are less efficient in nutrient uptake (Brundrett, 2002; Smith & Read, 2008; Kong et al., 2014; Eissenstat et al., 2015; Liu et al., 2015; ValverdeBarrantes et al., 2016).”
