Soil inoculation enhances early‐phase reintroduction success in two rare plant species
Abstract Introduction Reintroduction for conservation is an important measure to restore populations of vulnerable plant species. However, reintroduction success rates are relatively low. Inoculating reintroduced plants with facilitative microorganisms from native populations may enhance their performance.

Performance of planted native seedlings in felled strips within Pinus radiata plantation forest
Abstract Introduction Exotic plantations could facilitate native forest restoration through a managed transition utilizing partial harvest, poisoning, or natural senescence of the plantation. Objectives To explore canopy gap creation and herbivore exclusion in a Pinus radiata plantation on planted seedlings of three native tree species.

Abstract Background Sheep wool may reduce drought stress in grasslands when used as a soil amendment. Two experiments were conducted to explore if: (i) water absorbed by wool would be biologically ‘active’ and therefore available to plants, using a novel method of measuring water activity (a w); and, (ii) adding wool to compost would delay water stress

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the Sub-Saharan Savannas of Benin an their association with yam (Dioscorea spp.) : potential of yam growth promotion and reduction of nematode infestation [PDF]
The arbuscular mycorrhiza is the most widely occurring and important microbial symbiosis for agricultural crops and well known to facilitate plant mineral nutrient uptake, particularly under conditions of P-limitation - as it is common in tropical ...

Phenology and developmental stage mediate symbiotic N fixation in a hairy vetch breeding program
Abstract Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) is an overwintering annual legume valued for its ability to provide N through symbiotic N fixation (SNF). Although SNF is a high‐priority trait for farmers, evaluating SNF in a breeding program is a challenging endeavor. Our objective was to evaluate how SNF varies within and among hairy vetch genotypes and how

RNA-seq Transcriptional Profiling of an Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Provides Insights into Regulated and Coordinated Gene Expression in Lotus japonicus and Rhizophagus irregularis [PDF]
Gene expression during arbuscular mycorrhizal development is highly orchestrated in both plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. To elucidate the gene expression profiles of the symbiotic association, we performed a digital gene expression analysis of ...

Soil microbial effects on tree seedling performance during forest secondary succession
Abstract Soil microbiota influence seedling survival and abundance in mature forests. However, their role in tree species turnover during secondary forest succession remains unclear, especially in species‐rich tropical forests. We conducted a shade house experiment to assess variation in the direction and strength of net soil microbial effects on ...
