SUCCESSION OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI: CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES, AND CONSIDERATIONS
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are soil fungi associations with the majority of terrestrial plants. These fungi may affect a wide range of ecosystem processes from primary productivity to soil stabilization. Understanding the patterns and controls of AMF abundance during succession soil will be …

Investigations of Bromus tectorum: restoration strategies and interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
… B. tectorum to field and commercial sources of arbuscular mycorrizal fungi (AMF) inoculum. Bromus tectorum and early successional plant species were negatively responsive and late successional species were positively responsive to field AMF inoculum, while commercial inoculum was ineffective. I …

Establishment of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) on micropropagated teak (Tectona grandis L. F.)
… ability to establish mycorrhizas from different Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) inoculum sources on two micropropagated teak (Tectona grandis L. f.) clones was examined at the acclimatisation phase. Teak shoots were maintained on a multiplication medium containing Murashige and Skoog (MS) …

Functional diversity and life history traits of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in disturbed soils
Relative effectiveness of ten species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi native to a revegetated coal strip mine site was tested on red clover against a non-mycorrhizal control and against inocula of two commercial isolates. Most (70%) of the isolated species in a native fungal community were as …

Effect of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on glomalin production
There is accumulating evidence that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) produce a glycoprotein called glomalin, which has the potential to increase soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage, thereby reducing soil emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) into the atmosphere. However, …

Fostering Populations of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Through Cover Crop Choices and Soil Management
… form a beneficial, symbiotic relationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. This has triggered interest in the potential role of these fungi in sustain-able food production for an increasing population. However, it is known that many common farming practices can negatively influence both …

Communities of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Salt Marsh Habitats: Diversity, Structure, and Ecosystem Function
… central focus of recent ecological studies, and fungi are considered to play a key role in this relationship. For example, the Mycorrhizae’s association with two-thirds of terrestrial plants makes them one of the most common forms of symbiosis on Earth. Although Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) …

The Effects of Whole Genome Duplication on Functional Traits and Interactions With Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi
… tetraploids differ in colonization rates by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that generally serve as nutrient-providing mutualists. From field-sampled roots, I not only found greater total colonization of AMF on tetraploids than diploids, but that tetraploids also had a greater colonization …

Symbiotic relationships of <i>alnus glutinosa</i> with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and with <i>frankia</i>
The occurrence in Scotland of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) infective on <i>Alnus glutinosa</i> and the effects on early growth of inoculation of seedlings with AMF and <i>Frankia </i>were investigated. AMF characteristic of <i>Glomus</i>-like fungi were detected microscopically in <i>A. …

Impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on crop and weed growth: potential implications for integrated weed managment
… promise. In this study, I investigated whether arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), a group of widely distributed soil fungi, can have suppressive effects on weeds under field conditions varying in soil management practices, and thereby contribute to IWM in agricultural systems. AMF form …

A polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis procedure for analysis of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in soil
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important components of agro-ecosystems and are especially significant for productive low-input agriculture. Traditional spore morphology-based identification of AMF in biodiversity studies is subjective and requires expertise and time. Researchers have used …

Invisible to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: Positional cloning and characterisation of a novel arbuscular mycorrhizal mutant in Zea mays
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi from the Glomeromycotina form a beneficial symbiotic relationship with the root systems of a majority of plant species, enabling plants to profit from increased phosphate uptake efficiency. Further understanding of this interaction may prove vital in meeting the …

Assessing the indigenous Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) community associated with sea oats along the Georgia coast at Jekyll and Tybee Islands
… technique has not been found to be the best. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) supply a range of limiting nutrients (N, P, Fe, and Zn) to the host plant while improving dune stability. This study aimed to assess and compare the diversity of the indigenous AMF community associated with sea …

Integrating Above and Belowground Components of Biodiversity across Spatial Scales: The Role of Host Plants in the Distribution of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi
The Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are a group of obligate plant root endosymbionts, which form associations with an estimated two thirds of terrestrial plant species. Their extra-radical mycelium extends throughout the soil and absorbs nutrients that are transferred to their host plant in …
