Figure 2

Schematic diagram demonstrating the limitations of studying fungal–plant and bacterial–plant interactions in isolation. Bacteria and fungi interact within the bulk soil, rhizosphere, rhizoplane and endosphere. Fungi and bacteria provide shared and contrasting services to the plant host. In addition, fungal networks are considerably more mobile than bacterial cells and can vector bacteria to the plant host.
