Paper doi abstract bibtex The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbiotic associations with the majority of terrestrial plants in a relationship estimated to be at least 470 million years old [1]. This symbiosis supported the terrestrialization of plants by facilitating their access to belowground nutrients, such as phosphorus. Today, AM fungi associate with most land plants where, as obligate symbionts, they rely entirely on their hosts for access to carbon as carbohydrates and lipids [2]. Yet the AM symbiosis does not exist in isolation. Simultaneous to AM fungal colonization, almost all plant hosts are subject to foliar damage from herbivores and pathogens. These antagonistic relationships are as ubiquitous as the AM symbiosis itself and have had significant impacts on the evolution and diversification of vegetation [3, 4]. Thus, this complex interplay among AM fungi, plants, and their herbivorous and pathogenic antagonists serves as a key driver in the ecological and evolutionary dynamics not only of the individual partners but also of global ecosystems.
