Dark septate root endophytic fungi increase growth of Scots pine seedlings under elevated CO2 through enhanced nitrogen use efficiency. [PDF]
Although increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 are predicted to have substantial impacts on plant growth and functioning of ecosystems, there is insufficient understanding of the responses of belowground processes to such increases.

Striga seed-germination activity of root exudates and compounds present in stems of Striga host and nonhost (trap crop) plants is reduced due to root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. [PDF]
Root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi reduces stimulation of seed germination of the plant parasite Striga (Orobanchaceae). This reduction can affect not only host plants for Striga, resulting in a lower parasite incidence, but also ...

Effect of P and Ca on the mycorrhiza of P. sylvestris formation in aseptic condition
Ihe effect of some phosphorus and calcium compounds on mycorrhiza formation in pure cultures was investigated. In this experiment — Cenococcum groniforme, Suillus bovinus and Tricholoma albobrunneum were used. The ability to synthese acid phosphatase was

Assessment of selected soil parameters in a long-term Western Canadian organic field experiment [PDF]
A long-term field study was used to compare soil nitrogen and phosphorous status, and soil aggregate stability in organic and conventional cropping systems. Two rotations were tested: a grain only and a grain-alfalfa hay rotation.

Influence of soil chemical properties on relative abundance of arbuscular mycorrhiza in forested soils in Malaysia [PDF]
Th eeff ect of soil chemical properties on the diversity and colonization of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) varies among ecosystems. This study was conducted to assess and compare the abundance of AM in a rehabilitated forest and a logged-over forest soil ...

Responses of ectomycorrhizal fungi to changes in carbon and nutrient availability [PDF]
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi may receive 20% of the total C fixed by their host plants and are essential components of host nutrient acquisition. As a consequence of the vast physiological diversity that exists among ECM fungi, changes in community ...
