Changes in the composition and diversity of AMF communities mediated by management practices in a Mediterranean soil are related with increases in soil biological activity (2014, background): “AMF can protect their hosts from pathogens (Sikes et al., 2009) and enhance the sustainability of ecosystems by improving the soil structure (Caravaca et al.”
Global diversity and distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2011, positive): “Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi colonize w 75% of plant species (Newman and Reddell, 1987) and provide numerous bene ﬁ ts to their hosts, including increased N and P acquisition, drought tolerance, and pathogen protection (Auge, 2001; Johnson et al., 2010; Sikes et al., 2009).”
Plant Facilitation and Phylogenetics (2013, background): “…thanks to the mycelium being extended over a large surface area www.annualreviews.org • Plant Facilitation and Phylogenetics 25.11 Phylogenetic signal: the tendency of closely related species to resemble each other morphologically or ecologically (Selosse et al. 2006; Sikes et al. 2009, 2010).”
Microbially Mediated Plant Functional Traits (2011, background): “Genotype-by-genotype interaction is present at the species level in plant-mycorrhizal interactions for growth increases (Klironomos 2003) and pathogen protection (Sikes et al. 2009) as well as within species (reviewed in Hoeksema et al.”
Plant pathogen protection by arbuscular mycorrhizas: a role for fungal diversity? (2010, background): “…that variation in this trait is largely constrained to this divergence, with low levels of pathogen abundance in root systems inoculated with various Glomus species relative to those inoculated with various Gigaspora, Scutellospora, and Acaulospora species (Powell et al. 2009; Sikes et al. 2009).”
Impact of nitrogen fertilization and soil tillage on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in a Mediterranean agroecosystem (2013, positive): “…isolates increase plant tolerance to root pathogens, pests and abiotic stresses, such as drought and salinity (Augé, 2001; Evelin et al., 2009; Sikes et al., 2009) and increase the synthesis of beneficial plant secondary metabolites, thus contributing to the production of safe and high…”
