Interactions between mammals and ectomycorrhizal fungi

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1996
Many ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi produce fruit-bodies below ground and rely on animals, especially mammals, for dispersal of spores. Mammals may therefore play an important role in the maintenance of mycorrhizal symbiosis and biodiversity of ECM fungi in many forest ecosystems.

Decline of ectomycorrhizal fungi in Europe

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1991
Recent changes in the species diversity and sporocarp production of ectomycorrhizal fungi in different regions of, and forest communities within, Europe are discussed with special emphasis on events in The Netherlands. In some forests in some regions fewer ectomycorrhizal fungi are now producing sporocarps, notably those associated with trees more than

Ectomycorrhizal fungi in mineral soil

Mineralogical Magazine, 2008
AbstractEctomycorrhizal fungi are mutualistic symbionts of many forest trees and play a major role in nutrient uptake. They form diverse communities in boreal forest soils but functional differences within this group of fungi remain largely unknown.

DNA RFLPs distinguish ectomycorrhizal fungi

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1990
Abstract DNAs were extracted from two saprophytic and three mycorrhizal genera and digested with four restriction nucleases. The DNA fragments of varying lengths were separated by gel electrophoresis into patterns called restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs).

Susceptibility of ectomycorrhizal fungi to soil heating

Fungal Biology, 2010
Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi are an important biotic factor for successful tree recruitment because they enhance plant growth and alleviate drought stress of their hosts. Thus, EcM propagules are expected to be a key factor for forest regeneration after major disturbance events such as stand-replacing forest fires.

RNA Silencing in Ectomycorrhizal Fungi

2010
The symbiotic phase in the life-cycle of ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes is the dikaryon. Thus, fungal studies on symbiotic gene function would require the inactivation of both gene copies in the dikaryotic mycelium. Several unsuccessful attempts have demonstrated that with the low homologous recombination rates shown by this group of fungi such double ...

Ectomycorrhizal fungi as experimental organisms

1996
Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi can be grown in surface, submerged as well as solid state cultivations. While growing, EM fungi excrete several enzymes, phytohormones, siderophores, antimicrobial substances as well as organic acids like oxalic acid. These are slow growing fungi with a doubling time of around 50 hours.

Detoxification of ferulic acid by ectomycorrhizal fungi

Mycorrhiza, 2003
The ectomycorrhizal fungi Laccaria amethystina and Lactarius deterrimus grown in liquid culture were used to study the fate of added ferulic acid. Laccaria amethystina degraded ferulic acid to the major metabolite vanillic acid. The intermediate vanillin was not detected. Lactarius deterrimus showed a completely different detoxification pattern.

Molecular Genetics of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi

2000
The mycorrhizal associations have evolved as a survival mechanism for both fungi and plants. These associations are as old as land plants. Ectomycorrhizal plants have evolved along with many of their ectomycorrhizal fungal partners (Miller and Walting, 1987; Nicolson, 1975).
