About

Root-microbial symbiosis is of great importance for improving plant productivity and fitness under stressful conditions. Although there are tremendous studies concerning the genetic reprogramming and molecular cross-talk in the rhizobial and mycorrhizal symbiosis occurring in model plants, knowledge of the identity and functions of root-associated nonmycorrhizal fungi (RANF) is still in its infancy.

In this Research Topic, much attention will be paid to the endophytic and rhizospheric fungi in halophytes, grass, crops, and trees. Diversity and community composition of RANF explored by high throughput sequencing technology must be revealed. More importantly, ecological, physiological and molecular aspects of root mycobionts and their relationships with host plants will specifically be addressed. A better understanding of patterns and processes of the root beneficial mycobiome will provide more alternatives for improving agricultural and forestry management practices.

Three types of manuscripts will be included: research articles, mini-review and technological innovations. Topics related to structure and function of root endophyte, mycorrhizal fungi and rhizosphere microbiome are welcome.
