Exploring the symbiont diversity of ancient western redcedars: arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi of long-lived hosts [PDF]
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are globally distributed, monophyletic root symbionts with ancient origins. Their contribution to carbon cycling and nutrient dynamics is ecologically important, given their obligate association with over 70% of ...

Mycorrhiza‐induced alterations in the spatial structure of stands in a subtropical forest
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Spatial aggregation patterns represent snapshots of ecological processes that occurred over an extensive period. Such processes can shape both the conspecific and the heterospecific spatial structure of plants across woody habitats.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbioses with approximately 80% of plant species and potentially benefit their hosts (e.g. nutrient acquisition) and the soil environment (e.g. soil aggregation).

SymGRASS: a database of sugarcane orthologous genes involved in arbuscular mycorrhiza and root nodule symbiosis : from Seventh International Meeting on Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics, (CIBB 2010), Palermo, Italy, 16 - 18 September 2010 [PDF]
Background: The rationale for gathering information from plants procuring nitrogen through symbiotic interactions controlled by a common genetic program for a sustainable biofuel production is the high energy demanding application of synthetic nitrogen ...

Diversity and Distribution of Soil Fungi in Neotropical Mexican Forests
Soil fungal diversity across the Mexican Neotropics remains poorly characterized despite its ecological importance. Using the Global Soil Mycobiome dataset from 55 sites, we identified eight distinct fungal community groups structured primarily by vegetation type and climatic gradients.

A Phylum-Level Phylogenetic Classification of Zygomycete Fungi Based on Genome-Scale Data [PDF]
Zygomycete fungi were classified as a single phylum, Zygomycota, based on sexual reproduction by zygospores, frequent asexual reproduction by sporangia, absence of multicellular sporocarps, and production of coenocytic hyphae, all with some exceptions ...

Finding needles in haystacks: linking scientific names, reference specimens and molecular data for Fungi [PDF]
DNA phylogenetic comparisons have shown that morphology-based species recognition often underestimates fungal diversity. Therefore, the need for accurate DNA sequence data, tied to both correct taxonomic names and clearly annotated specimen data, has ...

During the succession of karst rocky desertification, soil bacterial diversity was directly influenced by both plant functional diversity and soil physicochemical properties. In contrast, soil fungal diversity was directly regulated by soil physicochemical properties and indirectly affected by plant functional diversity via the mediation of soil ...
