Dynamic Phosphate Uptake in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Roots Under Field Conditions (2019, background): “Moreover, the arbuscule/vesicle ratio varies depending on the AMF species even within the same subgenus Glomus Ab (Kiers et al., 2011); the genera Gigaspora and Scutellospora do not form intraradical vesicles (Smith and Read, 2008), suggesting the interspecific and intraspecific differences of…”
Why do mixotrophic plants stay green? A comparison between green and achlorophyllous orchid individuals in situ (2013, background): “…this, green plants and fungi were recently demonstrated to symmetrically reward more the most cooperative partners, i.e., plants furnishing the most C and fungi furnishing the most mineral nutrients (Kiers et al. 2011), and thus to counter-select cheaters from both sides (Selosse and Rousset 2011).”
Strategies for cooperation in biological markets, especially for humans (2013, background): “Market effects have also been found in cleaner fish (Bshary & Grutter, 2002, 2005, 2006; Bshary & Schäffer, 2002) and plant–mycorrhiza interactions (Kiers et al., 2011).”
Response of soil microbial communities to contrasted histories of phosphorus fertilisation in pastures (2012, methodology): “custos were targeted using mitochondrial LSU; the details are provided in Kiers et al. (2011). The qPCR analyses were carried out on a LightCycler 2.”
Harnessing Soil Microbes to Improve Plant Phosphate Efficiency in Cropping Systems (2019, neutral): “Plants transfer photosynthetic carbon in the form of sugars [41,42] and lipids [43,44] across the periarbuscular and mycorrhizal interface to the fungal partner [42,45,46].”
Plant–soil feedbacks: the past, the present and future challenges (2013, background): “…feedbacks, it needs to be considered that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can differ strongly in their resource exchange with plant individuals (Kiers et al. 2011), and that they may also act as pathogens (Johnson, Graham & Smith 1997), potentially generating negative feedbacks on plant…”
Arbuscular mycorrhiza and soil nitrogen cycling (2012, result): “…hexoses in the apoplast allows the AM fungus to better scavenge for carbohydrates e a model that has been supported by the experimental results of Kiers et al. (2011); this mechanism, that assimilated nutrients may be “exchanged” by the AM fungi for carbohydrates in the apoplast, could be…”
Mycorrhizal feedbacks generate positive frequency dependence accelerating grassland succession (2018, background): “…the proportion of beneficial fungi relative to nonbeneficial fungi, as might be expected from observations of preferential allocation to the most effective mutualist (Bever, Richardson, Lawrence, Holmes, & Watson, 2009, Kiers et al., 2011, Zheng, Ji, Zhang, Zhang, & Bever, 2015, Ji & Bever, 2016).”
Phylogenetic structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal community shifts in response to increasing soil fertility (2015, background): “Third, there is good evidence that plants actively select AM fungal taxa that best provision nutrients (Parniske, 2008; Kiers et al., 2011; Bever, 2015) and many field studies have shown that certain plants select particular AM fungi (e.”
Response and interaction of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the soybean rhizosphere (2018, background): “These studies provide key insights into the role of reciprocal rewards (Kiers et al. 2011) and nutrient exchange in the development and sustenance of mycorrhizal colonization.”
