However, prior studies focused mainly on their spatial patterns and temporal dynamics, as well as their driving factors. In-depth research on community assembly mechanisms, particularly how biotic interactions influence this, is lacking. In this study, we collected root samples of an ectomycorrhizal plant, Bistorta macrophylla, and bulk soil around them, along a 4300-4750 m gradient in alpine meadows of Baima Snow Mountain, northwestern Yunnan, China, and obtained ITS2 sequences using high-throughput sequencing, which were subjected to bioinformatic processing and statistical analyses, including differential abundance analyses, inference of community assembly mechanisms and interpretation of co-occurrence networks. Our results reveal that fungal community assembly in soil is influenced more by stochastic processes with the increase of elevation, but homogeneous selection consistently acts as the predominant process in shaping root-associated communities. This helps keep a stable core mycobiota dominated by Cenococcum and Phialocephala, both being melanized fungi, in the root systems of B. macrophylla. Nevertheless, members of the order Helotiales and certain EcM genera consistently act as key nodes in fungal co-occurring networks in both soil and root samples. Further, we find that the elevational change trend of positive correlations between ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi matches with the theoretical expectation by the stress gradient hypothesis. Our results emphasize the pivotal role of compartment filtering by plant roots in selecting symbiotic partners and shaping fungal correlation networks, and highlight that the stress gradient hypothesis could be applicable in harsh alpine environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":18965,"journal":{"name":"Mycorrhiza","volume":"36 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148387793","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}

In this study, we assessed how a standing white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) cover crop interacts with tillage intensity to influence AMF colonization, community composition, diversity, and abundance in volunteer barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) roots. AMF responses were quantified using complementary approaches, including microscopic assessment of root colonization, 18S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, and taxon-specific real-time PCR (qPCR). Roots were sampled before white mustard termination, thereby avoiding tissue disruption and isothiocyanate release, to distinguish host-mediated filtering from biofumigation-associated chemical disturbance. Colonization intensity was primarily determined by tillage, with significantly higher colonization under no-tillage compared to conventional tillage. Community-level responses, however, were dependent on taxonomic resolution. At the amplicon sequence variant (ASV) level, white mustard reduced AMF richness, whereas diversity and evenness were unaffected. At the genus level, richness remained stable, but diversity and evenness declined under the combined effects of cover cropping and conventional tillage, indicating that tillage modulated the impact of cover crop legacy. Dominant Glomeraceae lineages remained stable across treatments, and total AMF abundance showed no consistent response to management, although Rhizophagus irregularis was more abundant under no-tillage. Colonization intensity correlated with ASV richness rather than with individual taxa, suggesting that early symbiotic dynamics were linked to community diversity rather than to the dominance of specific lineages.

We compared AM plasticity in four cereal crops by testing the effect of nitrogen (N) fertilization on AM colonization and root PLFA 16:1ω5 concentration. To assess whether mycorrhization patterns reflect root functional traits, we compared specific root length among species. To determine whether plants regulate AM colonization qualitatively (by selectively associating with certain AM taxa) or quantitatively (by collectively suppressing colonization across taxa), we investigated directional shifts and variability in AM community structure in response to N fertilization. AM colonization varied between cereal species and was reduced by N fertilization, but we found limited evidence for interspecific differences in AM plasticity. Winter wheat appeared less AM responsive and associated more with uncultured AM fungi compared to the three spring-sown cereal species, oat, spring wheat and spring barley. Fertilization did not affect AM community composition, and within-species variation in AM community β-dispersion did not covary with variation in AM colonization or PLFA 16:1ω5 concentration.

Mycorrhizal symbioses formed by arbuscular (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi are key regulators of plant responses to water limitation, influencing water acquisition, transport, and maintenance of plant water status at the soil-plant interface. This review synthesizes current knowledge of the mechanistic pathways through which mycorrhizal associations enhance plant drought tolerance. We distinguish between direct hydraulic contributions, including expanded soil exploration via extraradical hyphal networks, hyphal water uptake, redistribution, and modifications of rhizosphere hydraulic properties, and indirect physiological and biochemical effects, such as changes in root system architecture, regulation of aquaporins, osmotic adjustment, antioxidant capacity, and phytohormonal signaling. Particular emphasis is placed on structural and functional differences between AM and EcM symbioses. We examine how contrasting intraradical interfaces (i.e., arbuscules versus Hartig net) and extraradical networks influence water movement, plant hydraulic conductance, and whole-plant performance under drought. We assess the implications of these processes for agriculture and forestry, highlighting context-dependent fungal-plant compatibility, maintenance of diverse mycorrhizal communities, and management practices that preserve soil structure and mycorrhizal networks. Despite substantial evidence that mycorrhizal fungi improve plant performance under water deficit, their quantitative contributions to plant water transport and growth remain insufficiently resolved, particularly in EcM-dominated systems. Addressing these knowledge gaps will require integrative, multi-scale approaches linking molecular regulation, root and hyphal hydraulics, and ecosystem-level water fluxes.

We examined the influence of Acaulospora delicata on S. avenae performance on two wheat cultivars-Yunhan-618 (drought-resistant) and Xinong-1376 (drought-susceptible)-under well-watered and water-deficit stress conditions. Under water-deficit stress conditions, root colonization by A. delicata was higher in both Yunhan-618 and Xinong-1376 when compared to well-watered conditions.

AMF inoculation shortened developmental time, increased adult longevity, and enhanced fecundity of S. avenae under both water regimes. On Yunhan-618, AMF association increased intrinsic growth rate and reproductive output of this aphid. Honeydew excretion by S. avenae was greater on AMF-inoculated plants under well-watered conditions.
