Changes in Intraspecific Diversity of the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Community Involved in Plant–Plant Interactions Between Sporobolus robustus Kunth and Prosopis juliflora (Swartz) DC Along an Environmental Gradient
The intensification of biological processes co** with salt stress became a major issue to mitigate land degradation. The Sine-Saloum Delta in Senegal is characterized by salt-affected soils with vegetation d...

Mycorrhizal inoculation increases fruit production without disturbance of native arbuscular mycorrhizal community in jujube tree orchards (Senegal)
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi constitute promising biofertilizers for the deployment of a sustainable agriculture. However, the evaluation of mycorrhizal benefits in the field is poorly documented, notably...

How deep can ectomycorrhizas go? A case study on Pisolithus down to 4 meters in a Brazilian eucalypt plantation
Despite the strong ecological importance of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, their vertical distribution remains poorly understood. To our knowledge, ECM structures associated with trees have never been reported i...

Assessment of functional diversity and structure of phytate-hydrolysing bacterial community in Lolium perenne rhizosphere
Plant growth is frequently limited by the availability of inorganic phosphorus (P) in the soil. In most soils, a considerable amount of the soil P is bound to organic molecules. Of these, phytate is the most a...

Transcriptional response of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to a phosphate-deficient Lolium perenne rhizosphere
Plant-bacterial interactions in the rhizosphere are important in mediating soil nutrient transformations. Plants supply carbon-rich substrates to rhizobacteria as root exudates and bacteria mobilise soil-bound...
