Population Biology and Interactions of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Their Benefits in Strawberry Cultivation [PDF]
The diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and relative abundance among species may affect their ecological impact. Species-specific primers for qPCR quantification of Funneliformis geosporus and F.mosseae DNA were developed to quantify their ...

Notes on Acaulospora bireticulata Rothwell & Trappe and first record of Acaulospora koskei Blask. from Brazil [PDF]
O conhecimento sobre a distribuição de espécies de fungos micorrízicos arbusculares (FMAs) ainda é restrito e as variações morfológicas observadas em isolados de uma mesma espécie podem proporcionar subsídios adicionais para o entendimento dos caracteres

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 ...

Poor Quality of Commercial Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Inoculants Used for Agriculture and Home Gardening
ABSTRACT There is an urgent need to develop microbial inoculants that can consistently improve crop performance as part of efforts to implement sustainable agricultural practices and reduce the environmental impact of intensive farming. One of the best known examples of beneficial soil microbes that can promote plant growth and ecosystem performance ...

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 ...

Molecular characterization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in an agroforestry system reveals the predominance of Funneliformis spp. associated with Colocasia esculenta and Pterocarpus officinalis adult trees and seedlings [PDF]
Pterocarpus officinalis (Jacq.) is a leguminous forestry tree species endemic to Caribbean swamp forests. In Guadeloupe, smallholder farmers traditionally cultivate flooded taro (Colocasia esculenta) cultures under the canopy of P.
