Genetic Transformation of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi
1995If Albert Einstein had investigated ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, he might well have devised a formula for same to read as follows: E = mc2, where the efficiency (E) of the symbiosis is somehow related to the mass (m) of mycelium colonizing the cortex (c) of the plant root. Granted such a formula is far too empirical to be taken seriously, but nonetheless

Genetics of ectomycorrhizal fungi: progress and prospects
Plant and Soil, 1994The variability within and among ectomycorrhizal species provides a substantial genetic resource and the potential to increase forest productivity and environmental sustainability. Two parallel and interacting approaches, classical and molecular genetics, are being developed to acquire the genetic information underpinning selection of improved ...

ARSENATE SENSITIVITY IN ERICOID AND ECTOMYCORRHIZAL FUNGI
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1999Abstract Isolates of the endomycorrhizal fungus Hymenoscyphus ericae and the ectomycorrhizal fungus Hebeloma crustuliniforme from soils uncontaminated with AsO3−4, were compared with regard to their sensitivity to AsO3−4 in solution culture. When grown 4 4 in liquid media amended with a range of AsO3−4 concentrations, H.

Maintenance methods for ectomycorrhizal fungi
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1990Abstract Sterile water as a preserving medium for ectomycorrhizal fungi from agar culture plugs seems to be the best method tested. Storage the cultures at 4 °C is recommended but room temperature is also satisfactory. Fungal strains tested (23 of 24) and stored in water for 3 months at 4 °C gave clear growth when reinoculated.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi have larger fruit bodies than saprotrophic fungi
Fungal Ecology, 2015Abstract Currently we have only a limited understanding of the evolutionary and ecological significance of reproductive traits of fungi. We compared data on fruit body size, spore size and shape between saprotrophic and mutualistic (ectomycorrhizal) fungi in Northern and Central Europe.

18 Maintenance of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi
1991Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the maintenance of ectomycorrhizal fungi. When starting a collection of ectomycorrhizal fungi, it is desirable to obtain cultures from well-known collections or from other ectomycorrhiza research workers. To reduce labor and to allow comparisons between old cultures and fresh isolates, safe, easy, economical ...

Ecological studies on ectomycorrhizal fungi: an introduction
Giornale botanico italiano, 1992Abstract The characteristics of mycorrhizal associations in general and of different kinds of mycorrhizas are briefly indicated. The morphology, functional relationships, distribution, host specifity, succession and decline of ectomycorrhizas are concisely treated.

Production of Inoculum of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi
2002Mass cultivation of EM fungi has been discussed in this chapter. Different types of inocula are used — natural air-borne spores, soil inocula, nursery seedlings, sporophores/spores and vegetative mycelia. Fungi are grown axenically, selected and maintained for experimental studies. Ectomycorrhizal fungi are grown on semisynthetic media.
