Rock-eating mycorrhizas: their role in plant nutrition and biogeochemical cycles [PDF]
A decade ago, tunnels inside mineral grains were found that were likely formed by hyphae of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi. This observation implied that EcM fungi can dissolve mineral grains. The observation raised several questions on the ecology of these

Controlled ectomycorrhization of an exotic legume tree species Acacia holosericea affects the structure of root nodule bacteria community and their symbiotic effectiveness on Faidherbia albida, a native sahelian Acacia [PDF]
In the 400-700 mm rainfall zone, Acacia holosericea was found to be one of the best-adapted exotic tree showing excellent survival rate and rapid early growth (Harwood, 1994).

Tidying up international nucleotide sequence databases [PDF]
Sequence analysis of the ribosomal RNA operon, particularly the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, provides a powerful tool for identification of mycorrhizal fungi.

We collected the ascomata of Tuber species from the rhizosphere of Quercus dentata in Danyang, Korea. We observed the morphological characteristics of ectomycorrhizal roots and ascomata, and identified the species based on the results of the phylogenetic

Lactifluus persicinus sp. nov. from the gallery forests of West Cameroon [PDF]
During field work in the Noun division of western Cameroon during 2011, 2012, and 2014, several collections of an unknown Lactifluus species were discovered in a gallery forest with Uapaca guineensis. Molecular and morphological research shows that these

Mycorrhizal Formation of Korean Truffle Species, Tuber koreanum with Oak Trees [PDF]
In this study, we examined the ectomycorrhiza (ECM) formed by a species of the genus Tuber, T. koreanum, with two indigenous Korean oak species, Quercus acutissima and Q. dentata. T.

Amelioration of nitrate uptake under salt stress by ectomycorrhiza with and without a Hartig net
Summary Salt stress is an important environmental cue impeding poplar nitrogen nutrition. Here, we characterized the impact of salinity on proton‐driven nitrate fluxes in ectomycorrhizal roots and the importance of a Hartig net for nitrate uptake.

Arbuscular mycorrhiza represents an ubiquitous nutritional symbiosis between the roots of most terrestrial plant species and fungi of the subphylum Glomeromycotina (Spatafora et al., 2016). Terrestrial habitats are unlikely to be limited in propagules of
