Abstract:
... The study was conducted to evaluate the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Rhizophagus intradices) on growth and polyphenol production of the two important and popular medicinal plants in Vietnam: Ehretia asperula Zoll. & Mor. and Solanum procumbens Lour. The results showed a significant effect of the fungus on the growth of these two species with the growth indices such as height, weight ...

Abstract:
... Classical theory identifies resource competition as the major structuring force of biotic communities and predicts that (i) levels of dominance and richness in communities are inversely related, (ii) narrow niches allow dense “packing” in niche space and thus promote diversity, and (iii) dominants are generalists with wide niches, such that locally abundant taxa also exhibit wide distributions. Cu ...

Abstract:
... The impact of host plant on the mycelial features of mycorrhizal symbiont and its characteristics has been poorly investigated. This study aimed to compare and quantify (statistically tested) some of the mycelial features of an ectomycorrhiza (ECM)-forming fungus with and without the ECM host. The ECM-forming fungus, Rhizopogon roseolus, inoculated with or without Pinus thunbergii on both rich and ...

Abstract:
... In this study, we investigated the interactive effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Rhizophagus irregularis and soil bacteriomes on maize growth under salt stress (100 mM NaCl) and also the effect of salt and bacteriomes on the mycorrhizal infection levels. We found that soil bacteriomes directly promoted the growth of maize and indirectly enhanced maize biomass by increasing mycorrh ...

Abstract:
... The pathways regulated in ectomycorrhizal (EcM) plant hosts during the establishment of symbiosis are not as well understood when compared to the functional stages of this mutualistic interaction. Our study used the EcM host Eucalyptus grandis to elucidate symbiosis‐regulated pathways across the three phases of this interaction. Using a combination of RNA sequencing and metabolomics we studied bot ...

Abstract:
... Dead fungal mycelium (necromass) represents a critical component of soil carbon (C) and nutrient cycles. Assessing how the microbial communities associated with decomposing fungal necromass change as global temperatures rise will help in determining how these belowground organic matter inputs contribute to ecosystem responses. In this study, we characterized the structure of bacterial and fungal c ...
mycorrhizalfungi, etc ; Medicago truncatula; Rhizophagus irregularis; nitrogen; nutrition; phosphorus; phytomass; potassium; rubidium; vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae; Show all 10 Subjects
Abstract:
... Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi considerably improve plant nutrient acquisition, particularly phosphorus and nitrogen. Despite the physiological importance of potassium (K⁺) in plants, there is increasing interest in the mycorrhizal contribution to plant K⁺ nutrition. Yet, methods to track K⁺ transport are often costly and limiting evaluation opportunities. Rubidium (Rb⁺) is known to be transpor ...

Abstract:
... The investigation was carried out to study the efficiency of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in up taking plant nutrients for the Piper mullesua plantlets grown in acidic soil condition. In the present study, Piper mullesua seedlings were infected with ten different strains of AM fungi and one without inoculation of AM fungi under controlled soil pH (4.5). Growth parameters and plant nutrients of AM ...
... Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are root symbionts that can facilitate plant growth and influence plant communities by altering plant interactions with herbivores. Therefore, AM fungi could be critical for the conservation of certain rare plants and herbivores. For example, North American milkweed species are crucial hosts for monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus). Understanding how mycorrhizal ...
... Pisolithus sp. 1 (P sp. 1) is an ectomycorrhizal fungus (EMF) with a strong Cr(VI) tolerance and reduction ability. The noninvasive microttest technique (NMT), real-time quantitative PCR (qRT–PCR), and the three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) were used to deeply explore the physiological mechanism of the P sp. 1 response to Cr(VI) and investigate the relationship between Cr(VI) re ...
... Knowledge about the distribution and local diversity patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are limited for extreme environments such as the Arctic, where most studies have focused on spore morphology or root colonization. We here studied the joint effects of plant species identity and elevation on AM fungal distribution and diversity. We sampled roots of 19 plant species in 18 locations in ...

Abstract:
... Context Maximising seed germination and seedling development is critical for conservation of endangered plants around the world. Orchidaceae is one of the most threatened plant families and can be one of the most difficult to propagate ex situ . Three critical, but potentially limiting, factors are important for orchid germination, namely, conducive conditions, ‘ready-to-germinate’ s ...
... Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis is essential for the nutrition of most temperate forest trees and helps regulate the movement of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) through forested ecosystems. The factors governing the exchange of plant C for fungal N, however, remain obscure. Because competition and soil resources may influence ectomycorrhizal resource movement, we performed a 10‐month split‐root microcosm st ...
mycorrhizalfungi, etc ; Paspalum notatum; Rhizophagus irregularis; Stylosanthes guianensis; bacterial communities; community structure; phytomass; rhizosphere; vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) promote the P uptake of host plants not only by themselves but also by regulating P mobilizing bacterial (PMB) community in the plant-AMF-PMB holobiont. However, the differences in PMB community between two important niches (rhizosphere vs. hyphosphere) as regulated by AMF are scarcely revealed. With stylo (Stylosanthes guianensis) and bahiagrass (Paspalum notatu ...
... The great majority of plants gain access to soil nutrients and enhance their performance under stressful conditions through symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The benefits that AMF confer vary among species and taxonomic groups. However, a comparative analysis of the different benefits among AMF has not yet been performed. We conducted a global meta‐analysis of recent studies testi ...

Abstract:
... In European forests, the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) most often regenerates on clearcuts, following mechanical site preparation. Both of these silvicultural treatments (the removal of trees and preparation) have an impact on soil properties, and on the mycorrhizal fungi associated with the roots of seedlings. We therefore compared assemblages of mycorrhizal fungi associating with natural-rege ...

Abstract:
... Common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) that connect individual plants of the same or different species together play important roles in nutrient and signal transportation, and plant community organization. However, about 10% of land plants are non-mycorrhizal species with roots that do not form any well-recognized types of mycorrhizas; and each mycorrhizal fungus can only colonize a limited number of ...
... PURPOSE: Silicon (Si) accumulation by grasses alleviates diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. Despite this important functional role, we have limited understanding of how root microbial symbionts, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, affect Si uptake and even less about how Si supply and accumulation affect AM fungal colonisation. Our objective was to determine the nature of this two–way int ...

Abstract:
... Mycorrhizae are important to plants in improving nutrient absorption and stress resistance. To study mycorrhizal fungal diversity in blueberry, we combined culture method and culture-independent molecular method to analyze the root endosphere and rhizosphere fungi in three different cultivars. We obtained 212 isolates with a culture method and classified them into 40 types according to their morph ...

Abstract:
... The succession of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities during ecosystem development has received widespread attention, but the ecological mechanism that drives the succession of AMF communities during the restoration process in alpine meadow ecosystems remains unclear. Here, we treated ‘Black Beach’ (severely degraded alpine meadow) as the baseline for restoration (0 year), and selected ...
