| diversity and abundance of resupinate thelephoroid fungi as ectomycorrhizal symbionts in swedish boreal forests. | resupinate thelephoroid fungi (hereafter called tomentelloid fungi) have a world-wide distribution and comprise approximately 70 basidiomycete species with inconspicuous, resupinate sporocarps. it is only recently that their ability to form ectomycorrhizas (em) has been realized, so their distribution, abundance and significance as mycobionts in forest ecosystems is still largely unexplored. in order to provide baseline data for future ecological studies of tomentelloid fungi, we explored their ... | 2000 | 11123611 |
| 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 |
| ectomycorrhizal species associated with pinus radiata in new zealand including novel associations determined by molecular analysis. | ectomycorrhizal (ecm) associates of the exotic plantation species pinus radiata were investigated above and below ground over two years in the north island of new zealand. ecm species were identified using morphological and molecular (restriction fragment length polymorphism and dna sequencing) analysis. eighteen ecm species were observed fruiting above ground; 19 ecm species were identified below ground. in the above ground study, wilcoxina mikolae, rhizopogon pseudoroseolus and inocybe sindoni ... | 2010 | 19756777 |
| ectomycorrhizal roots select distinctive bacterial and ascomycete communities in swedish subarctic forests. | ectomycorrhizal (ecm) roots represent important niches for interactions with bacteria and ascomycete fungi, since they have a large surface area and receive a direct supply of plant assimilates from their tree hosts. we tested the hypothesis that the roots colonized by specific ecm fungi harbour distinct bacteria/ascomycete communities. roots were collected from two different locations in a subarctic shrub forest dominated by betula pubescens. bacterial and ascomycete communities were analysed b ... | 2010 | 21176055 |
