Compatibility of mycorrhiza-induced resistance with viral and bacterial entomopathogens in the control of Spodoptera exigua in tomato. [PDF]
MIR‐induced defenses in tomato are compatible with the use of Bacillus thuringiensis and baculovirus for pest control. Abstract BACKGROUND Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are soil‐borne microorganisms that establish mutualistic associations with roots of most terrestrial plants.

Use of the signature Fatty Acid 16:1ω5 as a tool to determine the distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in soil. [PDF]
Biomass estimation of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi, widespread plant root symbionts, commonly employs lipid biomarkers, predominantly the fatty acid 16:1ω5. We briefly reviewed the application of this signature fatty acid, followed by a case study comparing biochemical markers with microscopic techniques in an arable soil following a change to AM ...

Abstract Following a request from EFSA, the Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues developed an opinion on the science behind the risk assessment of plant protection products for in‐soil organisms. The current risk assessment scheme is reviewed, taking into account new regulatory frameworks and scientific developments. Proposals are made

Glomales SSUrRNA gene diversity [PDF]
The arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is one of the most important symbioses on earth, formed between about 80% of vascular plants and AM fungi (Smith & Read, 1997), which are placed in the order Glomales (Morton & Benny, 1990). A discussion has recently arisen about the rDNA‐gene and general genome organization of this fungal group, which, as far as ...

The present work uses fossils and subfossils to decipher the origin and evolution of terrestrial pathogens and endoparasites. Fossils, as interpreted by morphology or specific features of their hosts, furnish minimum dates for the origin of infectious agents, coevolution with hosts, and geographical locations.

Phylogeny of the Glomales: deciphering the past to understand the present [PDF]
SummaryThe Glomales comprise more than 130 described species, presently classified in three families and five genera. Previous analysis of the sequence of the nuclear genes coding for the ribosornal small subunit rRNA (SSU) obtained from 12 isolates representing as many species generally corroborated the taxonomy based on morphological characters.

Molecular analysis of Gigaspora (Glomales, Gigasporaceae) [PDF]
This work presents a cooperative effort to integrate new molecular (isozyme and SSU analyses) characters into the morphological taxonomy of the genus Gigaspora (Glomales). Previous analyses of published Gigaspora SSU sequences indicated the presence of a few polymorphic nucleotides in the region delimited by primers NS71‐SSU 1492′.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) impact the relationships between plants, aphids (insects that feed on plant phloem), and their natural enemies (insects that prey on or parasitize aphids). The presence of AMF influences the growth and population of different aphid species and affects the development of aphid‐killing wasps and their attraction to ...

A combined morphological and molecular approach to characterize isolates of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inGigaspora(Glomales) [PDF]
• Morphological features of resting spores and information from nucleotide sequences of ribosomal RNA were used to characterize seven mycorrhizal fungal isolates in Gigaspora from different geographical areas. • Detailed observations were made under the light microscope on single spores mounted in Melzer's reagent and polyvinyl alcohol-lactic acid ...

Glomus arenarium, a new species in Glomales (Zygomycetes)
A new ectocarpic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species, <em>Glomus arenarium</em> (<em>Glomales</em>, <em>Zygomycetes</em>), was recovered from maritime sand dunes of northern Poland. <em>Glomus arenarium</em> forms spores with a narrow and hyaline subtending hypha. Spores are orange to raw umber, globose
