Alleviation of abiotic salt stress in Ochradenus baccatus (Del.) by Trichoderma hamatum (Bonord.) Bainier (2014, background): “The synthesis of phenolic compounds increased resistance against salt stress as reported by Wehner et al. (2010).”
The Potential of Rhizosphere Microorganisms to Promote the Plant Growth in Disturbed Soils (2012, background): “chitectural changes in the root system (iii), microbial community changes in the rhizosphere (iv) and activation of plant defence mechanisms (v) (Wehner et al. 2010).”
Divergent consequences of hydrochar in the plant-soil system: Arbuscular mycorrhiza, nodulation, plant growth and soil aggregation effects (2012, background): “AM fungi provide various ecological services such as enhancing the plant’s nutrient and water acquisition (Smith and Read, 2008), provide defense against root pathogens (Newsham et al., 1995; Wehner et al., 2010), and additionally also play an important role in ecosystem processes such as soil aggre”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “Sub-groups of AMF may also be activating defense mechanisms within the host plant: ‘defensin’, a cysteine-rich plant protein demonstrating anti-fungal activity was only upregulated in roots colonized by G. intraradices relative to roots that were colonized by G. mosseae (Wehner et al. 2009).”
