In vitro antagonism of edible ectomycorrhizal fungi against Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium verticillioides

The Forestry Chronicle, 2018
Twenty-one isolates of edible ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) of 15 different species were tested in vitro for mycelial growth and spore germination against two isolates each of Fusarium oxysporum and F. verticillioides.

Development of split-root assays for loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seedlings to study ectomycorrhizal symbioses

MethodsX, 2023
Split-root techniques are valuable to investigate systemic vs. local plant responses to biotic and abiotic environmental factors, including interactions with soil microbes.

Rock-eating mycorrhizas: their role in plant nutrition and biogeochemical cycles

, 2008
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

Suillusgrevillei and Suillus luteus promote lead tolerance of Pinus tabulaeformis and biomineralize lead to pyromorphite

Frontiers in Microbiology
Lead (Pb) is a hazardous heavy metal that accumulates in many environments. Phytoremediation of Pb polluted soil is an environmentally friendly method, and a better understanding of mycorrhizal symbiosis under Pb stress can promote its efficiency and ...

Ectomycorrhizal Inoculation Enhances the Salt Tolerance of Quercus mongolica Seedlings

Plants, 2021
Salt stress harms the growth and development of plants, and the degree of soil salinization in North China is becoming increasingly severe. Ectomycorrhiza (ECM) is a symbiotic system formed by fungi and plants that can improve the growth and salt ...

The soil organic matter decomposition mechanisms in ectomycorrhizal fungi are tuned for liberating soil organic nitrogen

The ISME Journal, 2018
Many trees form ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with fungi. During symbiosis, the tree roots supply sugar to the fungi in exchange for nitrogen, and this process is critical for the nitrogen and carbon cycles in forest ecosystems. However, the extents to which

Range‐wide sampling reveals cryptic lineages but largely conserved mycorrhizal associations in the Japanese fairy lantern Thismia kobensis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The jewel‐like flowers of Thismia are as rare as they are beautiful, often recorded from only a single site per species. Access to 15 populations of T. kobensis has enabled an uncommon, range‐wide assessment of morphology, genetics, and fungal partners. Our analyses showed that T.

CYTOKININ PRODUCTION BY ECTOMYCORRHIZAL FUNGI [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1982
SUMMARYThe mycorrhizal fungi Rhizopogon luteolus Fr. and Nordh, Boletus elegans Schum. ex. Fr. and Suillus tuteus L. ex Fr., were investigated for cytokinin production in vitro. Culture filtrates in which the fungi had been growing for at least 2 weeks showed cytokinin activity when purified and bioassayed using soybean callus tissues.

A step into the shadows: Evolutionary shifts in fruit structure and dispersal strategies in Asian mycoheterotrophic Ericaceae

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.

Functional diversity in nutrient acquisition by ectomycorrhizal fungi [PDF]

, 2008
Nutrient uptake by boreal forest trees depends upon the symbiotic ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi that colonise more than 95% of the fine roots. In these ecosystems, nitrogen (N) is the most important growth-limiting nutrient for plants, followed by ...
