Dark septate root endophytic fungi increase growth of Scots pine seedlings under elevated CO2 through enhanced nitrogen use efficiency. [PDF]

open access: yes
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.

Mycorrhizal arbitrage, a hypothesis: How mycoheterotrophs could profit from inefficiencies in the biological marketplace

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1431-1440, June 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mycoheterotrophy, whereby plants acquire both carbon and nutrients from a fungal partner, is an evolutionarily puzzling phenomenon. According to biological market models, mycoheterotrophs have nothing to offer and thus should be shunned as trading partners by ...

The epiphytic orchids Ionopsis utricularioides and Psygmorchis pusilla associate with different Ceratobasidium lineages at Valle del Cauca, Colombia

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2015
In Orchidaceae, association with symbiotic fungi is required for seed germination and seedling development, thereby being the main energy source during the first steps of germination.

Context‐dependent effects of below‐ground carbon transfer: Limited benefits from sunlit pines to shaded oaks

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1369-1383, June 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Despite gaining significant attention in recent years, it remains unclear whether mycorrhizal fungi distribute meaningful amounts of resources among trees in ways that increase the fitness of the receiving trees. To investigate this, we used pairs of shaded and unshaded

Rhizoctonia -Scots pine interactions : detection, impact on seedling performance and host defence gene response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Rhizoctonia spp. are ubiquitous soil inhabiting fungi that enter into pathogenic or symbiotic associations with plants. In general Rhizoctonia spp. are regarded as plant pathogenic fungi and many cause root rot and other plant diseases which results in ...

Identification of Orchid Mycorrhizal Fungi Isolated from Epipactis thunbergii in Korea

open access: yesThe Korean Journal of Mycology, 2013
In this study, roots of Epipactis thunbergii were collected from Chujado on the north of Jeju-do. Six fungal isolates were isolated from surface-sterilized roots of the orchid and classified with groups based on morphological characteristics. Fungal DNA was extracted from each isolate and amplified ITS region using ITS1-OF/ITS4-OF primer pair.

Effects of Serendipita Fungi and Substrate Composition on Symbiotic Germination and Seedling Development of Dendrobium officinale

open access: yesHorticulturae
The use of mycorrhizal fungi to enhance orchid seed germination and seedling growth is a promising approach for orchid propagation and conservation, but practical applications remain limited.

Mycorrhizae in the Alaska Landscape [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This publication explains how mycorrhiza, an important relationship between plant roots and certain types of fungi, can improve the plant's growth and provide protection from certain root diseases.For more information, contact your local Cooperative ...
