Arbuscular mycorrhizas in phosphate-polluted soil: interrelations between root colonization and nitrogen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
To investigate whether arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) – abundant in a phosphate-polluted but nitrogen-poor field site – improve plant N nutrition, we carried out a two-factorial experiment, including N fertilization and fungicide treatment ...

Mycorrhizal fungi modify decomposition: a meta‐analysis

open access: yesNew Phytologist
It has been proposed that ectomycorrhizal fungi can reduce decomposition while arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi may enhance it. These phenomena are known as the ‘Gadgil effect’ and ‘priming effect’, respectively. However, it is unclear which one predominates

Mycorrhizal science outreach: Scope of action and available resources in the face of global change

open access: yesPlants, People, Planet, 2021
Societal Impact Statement Mycorrhizal associations are acknowledged as key components of global ecosystem functioning. This is especially relevant in the context of global change, since they contribute to the amelioration of adverse soil conditions and ...

Growth model for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of The Royal Society Interface, 2007
In order to quantify the contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to plant phosphorus nutrition, the development and extent of the external fungal mycelium and its nutrient uptake capacity are of particular importance. We develop and analyse a model of the growth of AM fungi associated with plant roots, suitable for describing mechanistically ...

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]

open access: yes, 2009
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 ...

Revisiting the ‘direct mineral cycling’ hypothesis: arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonize leaf litter, but why?

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2019
Half a century ago in an Amazonian rainforest, Went and Stark [1, 2] observed ‘endotrophic mycorrhizal’ hyphae proliferating in leaf litter adjacent to mycorrhizal roots. They inferred the fungi were accessing, and subsequently transferring, litter-bound

Biological Control of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes by Filamentous Fungi Inducers of Resistance: Trichoderma, Mycorrhizal and Endophytic Fungi

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Plant-parasitic-nematodes represent a major threat to the agricultural production of different crops worldwide. Due to the high toxicity of chemical nematicides, it is necessary to develop new control strategies against nematodes.

Development of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the presence of different patterns of Trifolium repens shoot flavonoids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We tested the effects of the flavonoid 3-methoxi-5,6,7,8-hydroxy-4'hydroxy flavone (NMHTV) isolated from shoots of non arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) inoculated clover, and of the flavonoids 5,6,7,8-hydroxy-3-methoxy flavone (MH-1); 5,6,7,8-hydroxy-4 ...

Synergies between mycorrhizal fungi and soil microbial communities increase plant nitrogen acquisition

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2019
Nitrogen availability often restricts primary productivity in terrestrial ecosystems. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are ubiquitous symbionts of terrestrial plants and can improve plant nitrogen acquisition, but have a limited ability to access organic ...

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.
