Long-lasting effects of land use history on soil fungal communities in second-growth tropical rain forests [PDF]
Our understanding of the long-lasting effects of human land use on soil fungal communities in tropical forests is limited. Yet, over 70% of all remaining tropical forests are growing in former agricultural or logged areas.

Rethinking intensification: Biodiversity‐inclusive management sustains coconut yields
Coconut palm expansion in West Africa will shape rural livelihoods and ecosystems. Our findings show that intensive practices reduce beneficial soil fungi and increase pathogens, threatening long‐term productivity. Lower‐intensity management that retains ground vegetation can sustain or boost yields while improving soil health.

Arbuscular mycorrhizae are important for growth and survival of tropical trees. We studied the community of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in a tropical mountain rain forest and in neighbouring reforestation plots in the area of Reserva Biológica San ...

Symbiosis Specificity of the Preceding Host Plant Can Dominate but Not Obliterate the Association Between Wheat and Its Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Partners [PDF]
The symbiosis established between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and roots of most land plants plays a key role in plant nutrient acquisition and alleviation of environmental stresses.

Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread plant symbionts that enhance nutrient acquisition and influence ecosystem productivity. Previous chromosome‐level assemblies of the model species Rhizophagus irregularis revealed a two‐compartment genome architecture (active A and repressed B chromatin compartments), yet its conservation across ...

Evidence for Co-evolutionary History of Early Diverging Lycopodiaceae Plants With Fungi
Lycopods are tracheophytes in the Kingdom Plantae and represent one of the oldest lineages of living vascular plants. Symbiotic interactions between these plants with fungi and bacteria, including fine root endophytes in Endogonales, have been ...

Stressed out symbiotes:hypotheses for the influence of abiotic stress on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [PDF]
Abiotic stress is a widespread threat to both plant and soil communities. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can alleviate effects of abiotic stress by improving host plant stress tolerance, but the direct effects of abiotic stress on AM fungi are less ...

ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities are key drivers of soil functioning in agricultural systems. Yet the relative influence of soil properties and cropping practices on their diversity remains insufficiently understood. We investigated 60 cropland sites in western Switzerland, covering a broad range of soil properties and cropping practices, to explore

Prospecció dels efectes de la interacció entre simbionts endomicorízics i un patogen causant de carbó en la gramínia Digitaria sanguinalis. [PDF]
D. sanguinalis is considered to be a weed that causes crop economic losses around the world. U. syntherismae is a fungus that, when infects D. sanguinalis may cause the substitution of the inflorescences by a mass of spores (smut).

Conceptual representation of topographic gradients in Amazonian igapó forests. High, medium, and low igapós differ in elevation and flood duration, with low igapós experiencing the longest periods of inundation. Fungal mycelia and DNA symbols indicate sampling of root‐associated mycorrhizal communities across the gradient, used to assess the influence ...
