However, the definition, functional mechanisms, and ecological relevance of this core microbiome remain poorly resolved. This review addresses how hyphosphere core microorganisms regulate the mineralization of soil carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. We first outline the conceptual development of the core microbiome and then, for the first time, propose a five-dimensional screening framework integrating abundance stability and universality, functional stability, dynamic responsiveness, ecological niche specificity, and community supportiveness to identify authentic core members. Using this framework, we synthesize evidence on the mechanisms by which the hyphosphere core microbiome mediates biomineralization, highlighting its role in converting organically bound nutrients into plant-available forms. By integrating the functions of hyphosphere core microorganisms across carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur cycles, this review provides a unified ecological perspective on how the AMF hyphosphere core microbiome drives soil nutrient turnover (Fig. 1). Overall, this framework advances understanding of hyphosphere ecology and offers practical implications for soil ecosystem restoration and sustainable agricultural management.</p>","PeriodicalId":18965,"journal":{"name":"Mycorrhiza","volume":"36 1","pages":"6"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146143001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both plant growth regulators (PGRs) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi contribute to plant growth and resistance. However, their combined interactions in invasive plants' defense remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, the invasive weed Alternanthera philoxeroides was treated with gibberellins (GA) and paclobutrazol (PAC), inoculated with Clariodeoglous etunicatum to test its response to pathogenic fungi. We found that these two PGRs suppressed AM fungi colonization. Both GA and AM fungi significantly promoted aboveground plant growth, while the two PGRs and AM fungi reduced pathogen infection. Metabolite analysis revealed that AM fungi inoculation significantly elevated vanillic acid, gentisic acid, and pomiferin content. Moreover, flavone, organic acid, and amino acids were positively related with plant growth, while jasmonic acid and amino acids were correlated with plant resistance. Our findings provide direct evidence that, through PGRs and metabolites, AM fungi could be \"chemical armed\" and contribute to plant growth and resistance to pathogens. These findings offer new insights into how PGRs and AM fungi modulate metabolites to enhance invasive plants' resistance, which might contribute to understanding the mechanism of plant invasion and weed management in agro-ecosystem.</p>","PeriodicalId":18965,"journal":{"name":"Mycorrhiza","volume":"36 1","pages":"5"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146143036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These forests are experiencing accelerating decline due to climate-related stress and intensified human pressures, despite their key role in sustaining regional biodiversity. Soil health and the crucial symbiotic partnership between oak trees and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are crucial for resilience in drought-prone Mediterranean environments. Due to a lack of comprehensive studies, this research aimed to analyze the root-associated microbiome of Persian oak (Quercus brantii) across western and southwestern Iran, specifically focusing on AMF diversity and their ecological role. Our study employed Illumina high-throughput sequencing of ITS and 18 S rRNA V4 markers of root-associated fungal communities to assess taxonomic composition and diversity of 160 trees across eight different sites. Analyses revealed dominant fungal groups, including key AMF taxa like Glomeraceae and Claroideoglomeraceae, with significant spatial variation in diversity and community structure, likely influenced by regional and abiotic factors. In addition, the findings highlight the important ecological function of the Persian oak canopy in creating a favorable microclimate and the essential symbiotic partnership with AMF for drought tolerance and nutrient uptake. However, our study ultimately concludes that despite this crucial symbiosis, the Zagros oak forests remain highly vulnerable to increasing pressures from agricultural expansion and the escalating impacts of climate change, seasonal wildfires, and declining groundwater levels, which pose significant threats to their long-term survival.</p>","PeriodicalId":18965,"journal":{"name":"Mycorrhiza","volume":"36 1","pages":"4"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146053043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
