Plant defence theory re‐examined: nonlinear expectations based on the costs and benefits of resource mutualisms (2011, background): “Nutrient returns are also considerable: some plants receive in excess of 50% of total P inflow from AMF (Li et al. 2006), and substantial N influx via AMF has been documented as well (Govindarajulu et al. 2005).”
Facilitated legume nodulation, phosphate uptake and nitrogen transfer by arbuscular inoculation in an upland rice and mung bean intercropping system (2009, background): “The arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis can effectively transfer large amounts of nitrogen from soil to plant roots (Ames et al. 1983; Govindarajulu et al. 2005; He et al. 2003; Johansen et al. 1993).”
Arbuscular mycorrhiza: the mother of plant root endosymbioses (2008, background): “Long-distance transport to the plant probably proceeds mainly through arginin”
Substantial nitrogen acquisition by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi from organic material has implications for N cycling (2010, background): “(5) suggested that transfers of N and phosphate may be linked but did not propose a site for the transfer, although a plant ammonium transporter that is mycorrhizal specific is preferentially activated in arbusculated cells (11).”
Trade-Offs in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis: Disease Resistance, Growth Responses and Perspectives for Crop Breeding (2017, neutral): “This relationship supplies water and nutrients, particularly phosphate [3] but also nitrogen (ammonium) [4] and other metals and salts including zinc [5,6], to the host plant.”
Nutrient cycling in the mycorrhizosphere (2015, neutral): “The absorbed N is assimilated into arginine in the fungal cytoplasm and then transferred, associated with polyP via vacuoles, to the IRM where it is released as ammonium to the plant (Govindarajulu et al., 2005).”
Root colonization by Piriformospora indica enhances grain yield in barley under diverse nutrient regimes by accelerating plant development (2010, positive): “indica might improve grain yield only when P or N supply are low, as described for symbiotic interactions of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and their host plants (e.g. Smith and Read 1997; Govindarajulu et al. 2005; Bucher 2007).”
Deciphering the associations between soil microbial diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality driven by long‐term fertilization management (2018, background): “It is known that various N- cycling processes are exclusively performed by soil microorganisms (Bru et al., 2011; Govindarajulu et al., 2005).”
The Ecology of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (2013, background): “There is evidence to suggest AM fungi may play a significant role in soil N and C cycles (Govindarajulu et al., 2005; Jones et al., 2009) and make considerable contribution to terrestrial ecosystem C sinks (Wright and Upadhyaya, 1998).”
Dominant plant species shift their nitrogen uptake patterns in response to nutrient enrichment caused by a fungal fairy in an alpine meadow (2011, positive): “AMF are mainly associated with P uptake, but numerous studies suggest that they can participate in N acquisition by plants from OM (e.g., Hodge et al. 2001; He et al. 2003; Govindarajulu et al. 2005; Lambers et al. 2008; Hodge and Fitter 2010).”
Plant root growth, architecture and function (2009, background): “However, there is now evidence that AMF can also capture and transfer N to their associated host plant (Govindarajulu et al. 2005) including from complex organic sources in the soil (Hodge et al. 2001).”
