| community structure of ectomycorrhizal fungi in a pinus muricata forest: minimal overlap between the mature forest and resistant propagule communities. | we have investigated colonization strategies by comparing the abundance and frequency of ectomycorrhizal fungal species on roots in a mature pinus muricata forest with those present as resistant propagules colonizing potted seedlings grown in the same soil samples. thirty-seven fungal species were distinguished by internal transcribed spacer (its) restriction fragment length polymorphisms (rflps); most were identified to species level by sporocarp rflp matches or to genus/family level by using s ... | 1999 | 10620228 |
| spore dispersal of a resupinate ectomycorrhizal fungus, tomentella sublilacina, via soil food webs. | patterns of fungal spore dispersal affect gene flow, population structure and fungal community structure. many basidiomycota produce resupinate (crust-like) basidiocarps buried in the soil. although spores are actively discharged, they often do not appear to be well positioned for aerial dispersal. we investigated the potential spore dispersal mechanisms of one exemplar of this growth form, tomentella sublilacina. it is a widespread ectomycorrhizal fungus that sporulates in the soil organic hori ... | 2005 | 16457345 |
| temporal changes in the ectomycorrhizal community in two soil horizons of a temperate oak forest. | the species structure of an ectomycorrhizal (ecm) community was assessed monthly for 15 months in the two horizons (a1 and a2) of an oak temperate forest in northeastern france. ectomycorrhizal species were identified each month by internal transcribed spacer sequencing. seventy-five fungal symbionts were identified. the community was dominated by tomentellaceae, russulaceae, cortinariaceae, and boletales. four species are abundant in the study site: lactarius quietus, tomentella sublilacina, ce ... | 2008 | 18658284 |
| characterization of juvenile maritime pine (pinus pinaster ait.) ectomycorrhizal fungal community using morphotyping, direct sequencing and fruitbodies sampling. | using ectomycorrhizal root tip morphotyping (anatomical and morphological identification), molecular analysis (internal transcribed spacer region amplification and sequencing), and fruitbody sampling, we assessed diversity and composition of the ectomycorrhizal fungal community colonizing juvenile pinus pinaster ait. under natural conditions in nw spain. overall, we found 15 basidiomycetes and two ascomycetes. members of the family thelephoraceae represented up to 59.4% of the samples. the most ... | 2009 | 18972139 |
