Summary Fungi are crucial for soil organic carbon (SOC) formation, especially for the more persistent mineral‐associated organic C (MAOC) pool. Yet, evidence for this often overlooks arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities and how their composition and traits impact SOC accumulation. We grew sudangrass with AMF communities representing different

Intraspecific variation in mycorrhizal response is much larger than ecological literature suggests
Abstract Mycorrhizal response is the most common metric for characterizing how much benefit a plant derives from mycorrhizal symbiosis. Traditionally, ecologists have used these metrics to generalize benefit from mycorrhizal symbiosis in plant species, ignoring the potential for plant intraspecific trait variation to alter the outcome of the mutualism.

Evidence has emerged that the antioxidant ergothioneine may be important in preventing many inflammatory diseases in humans. However, ergothioneine is not produced by humans or plants and is only made by fungi and some bacteria in soils. As such, humans get ergothioneine from eating fungi (mushrooms) or plants that take it up from the soil.

Analysis of the Atriplex Subjected to Claroideoglomus etunicatum and to the Desalinator Reject
The objective of this work was to analyze the minerals extracted from the soil and absorbed by Atriplex nummularia Lind. submitted to Claroideoglomus etunicatum and to the desalinator reject. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Agronomic Institute of Pernambuco - IPA, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. The experimental design was of randomized

Background and Aims. Drought harms the growth and productivity of grapevines; it thus poses a major threat to the development of viticulture in the background of ongoing climate change. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can be used to enhance the resistance/tolerance of plants to environmental stress.

Summary 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 ...

Evaluation of the effectiveness of some mycorrhizal fungi isolates against charcoal rot disease
Background The sunflower plants are attacked by serious seed and soil-borne pathogens including charcoal rot disease that caused by Macrophomina phaseolina. This disease has serious damages to sunflower crop.

Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) perform key soil ecosystem services and, because of their symbiotic relationship with plant roots, may be exposed to the plant protection products (PPPs) applied to soils and crops. In 2017, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) released a scientific opinion addressing the state of the science on risk ...

Mycorrhizal Inoculation on the Production of Seedlings of Native Caatinga Species
The objective of this study was to assess the efficiency of a mixed arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculum versus a single isolate to promote the seedling development of native Caatinga species: baraúna (Schinopsis brasiliensis Engl.) and juazeiro ...
